Premiere at SITE Festival June 2023
(link: will be up soon)
The participatory performance work tinishef/moojolu feereyaa is a poetic exploration of the ancient Gambian and Sudanese wisdom of mysticism and inner knowledge. We, your ša-ba-lum (guides) and you as viator (travelers) set out together to listen to what we otherwise do not hear.
Together we create a channel through which we get in touch with the essence.
We end with a traditional encounter with that which is said to have healing powers.
This is a participatory performance piece. You participate as yourself and you will not be acting as anyone else.
Age limit 18 years.
