Dance Month – Thought

Pensée (Thought), created by visionary choreographer Darel Longundu from the Democratic Republic of Congo, is a compelling exploration of the mental chains left by colonialism. The performance questions the true meaning of freedom, urging the audience to examine Africa’s relationship with the Western world and the power dynamics at play. Each movement, step, and cry becomes a code that challenges the identity, choices, and pain of Africans, calling for a collective awakening and liberation from the invisible shackles of colonisation.
