Re/membering Bamboula | Embodying Home

“Re/membering Bamboula | Embodying Home” is a choreographic and multimedia exploration of (d)ancestors. The exhibit utilizes genealogies, geographies, archives, and embodied re-enactment to trace and uncover one of Louisiana’s oldest African dances, the Bamboula, and ultimately, to journey closer to those who developed it. Breaking away from the gaze of the Western performance, the audience will be invited to participate in an immersive experience, tracing the genealogies and creating a “Bamboula” together.
