Yakalakaya: Performance by Cabuenha Janguinda
Come and feel Angola in motion!
Inspired directly by the universe of "Yakalakaya" (a cultural project that celebrates the richness of Angola's heritage through literature, oral tradition, music, dance and martial arts), this unique performance invites us to a sensory dive in which all the senses take part. Sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing are summoned as gateways to poetic states of perception.
Through ritual movements, organic sounds, scents-territory and tactile stimuli, the performing body becomes a mediator between visible and invisible worlds, dialoguing with the symbolic fields explored in Tiago Serpa's work, on display in the Um Corpo exhibition.
After the performance, there will be a guided tour of the exhibition, also in dialog with the audience and led by Tiago Serpa.
Kabwenha Janguinda is a multidisciplinary artist who was born in Angola, grew up in Luanda and, as an adult, lived in Portugal and Brazil. A capoeira teacher and member of the Abadá-Capoeira R5 project, he has written three books: "Artes Marciais de Angola", "Instrumentos Musicais de Angola" and "Yoyela, a menina que queria jogar capoeira".
Free entry, subject to capacity.
