Dorothée Munyaneza / Cie Kadidi - umuko

A celebration of love, solidarity and joy from Rwanda’s next generation of artists.

Dorothée Munyaneza returns to her motherland of Rwanda to showcase the voices of tomorrow. She brings together five young performers under the umuko tree, considered to be the ancestral tree, the healing tree, and the guardian of stories. Together they explore ejo, which translates to ‘yesterday’ and ‘tomorrow’ in the Kinyarwanda language, weaving links between the past, present and future through dance, poetry, music and song.

Gather to hear the vibrant stories of the youth: vulnerable, powerful, rebellious, flamboyant, and as bright as the red vermilion flowers of the umuko.
