Choreographers nora chipaumire and Germaine Acogny put forth an act of refusal, of intergenerational conversation and transmission, and of sorority and solidarity—a political statement and gesture that promotes ongoing practices found in Senegal and Zimbabwe. Drawing inspiration from the history of the Lébou community and the central place that women have in the traditional Ndeup healing ceremony, chipaumire and Acogny are accompanied and guided by a sonic ensemble played by five women from Toubab Dialaw, a coastal village of fishermen in Senegal, recalling the chants that connect them to the water spirits who bring healing blessings to the community.
