The Montreal philosopher and choreographer Zab Maboungou presents « Hâltérité », Human zoos and festivities. ( as per a non original idea)
Spectators are invited to wander through this performance featuring some twenty dancers, actors, writers, and performance artists. The piece takes a critical look at the cultural monstrations at work in our societies. As the artist herself would say, “You are invited to the festivities!”
The founder of the renowned Zab Maboungou/Compagnie Danse Nyata Nyata, the artist-choreographer, performer, philosophy professor and writer Zab Maboungou, recipient of the Governor General’s Award and Companion of the Ordre des arts et des lettres du Québec, has made her mark in several artistic and cultural spheres. Through her works and her involvement in ongoing artistic and cultural development, she has established an active presence, a new realm for the imagination. Her unique movement technique, lokéto, is now a model of its kind, and her distinguished career conveys an aesthetic of great poetic power.
