“In my mother’s womb, I heard the first drum beat.”
—Pulga Muchochoma
Experience power and depth of movement in this compelling double bill from acclaimed Mozambican-Canadian dancer and choreographer Pulga Muchochoma, performed with a company of 5.
NGOMA, a solo rooted in Pulga’s ancestral lineage, takes its name from the Chuabo word for “drum” and poses a profound question: Is the drum I danced to in my mother’s womb the same beat I follow in the world as a dancer?
INKOSI, meaning “king” in Zulu, is a stirring ensemble work inspired by the experiences of Nelson Mandela. It explores the brutal realities of Mandela’s time in prison, and honours his unwavering perseverance, resilience, and vision for a just South Africa.
