Since 2015, Rhodnie Désir has been exploring the Americas in search of Afro-descendant cultures, including Martinique, Haiti, Brazil, Mexico, Halifax and New Orleans. The choreographer, driven by a desire and a need to transcend her origins, has been immersing herself in the African cultures and rhythms of the peoples who were taken to these lands. The resulting performance piece, BOW’T TRAIL Retrospek, is a conversation between the present and the past, channeled through the body of Rhodnie Désir, in which more than 130 testimonies collected on lands of the Americas still reside. In this award-winning interdisciplinary work, Désir transcends polyrhythmic and majestic textures and sonorities while her body is mysteriously enveloped by video projections and plural memories connecting the audience to the universe of her travels.
Joining her on stage: beatmaker Engone Endong and Kalmunity founder Jahsun.
