Drought not only devastates vegetation, but also the hopes of generations. In the heart of Africa climate change silently weaves a new exodus. The steps of this migrant generation, marked by uncertainty, They are the new cartography of a continent in transformation, A mute testimony of how the planet, In its imbalance, redefine destinations and blur traditional borders.
Blackness, territory, identity. The history of African migration has been greatly built on ignorance. Flow. Invasion. Crisis. Wave. But, What's behind the figures? What's behind these labels? The migrant is the modern nomad, The exile, The search engine, But also the wandering, el invisible, The criminalized. Between the trauma of the game and the posterior stigma.
Idio will be, Mozambiqueño choreographer, unravels migration through movement. First person dance. It is inspired by the ancestral rituals of its people, Crusades, where dance and song merge. Bodies that dance as a vibrant reflection of that diversity, mixing local and migrant tradition in a constant dialogue. For Chichava alone in that union and in collective resonance it is where the individual finds his true voice.
"Vagabundus" is a trip without maps. Thirteen in motion bodies, A torrent of rhythms - Mozambiqueños, gospel and baroque reasons - that are intertwined, that are released. They do not need scenographies, Only the memories that each dancer carries with him. Dance is disarmed and rebuilt, narrating uprooting stories, of struggle, resistance, of the search for a place of belonging. And this dance approach makes spaces for reflection and denunciation open, of movement and emotional management.
