Panaibra Gabriel Canda & Maria João
(Un)official Language
You feel in one language and think in another — a phenomenon not entirely unfamiliar in Switzerland. In countries such as Mozambique the conflict between official language and what one speaks at home is a colonialist heritage that shapes the way people feel, speak and think. The choreographer Panaibra Gabriel Canda, who has performed several times at the festival, investigates this topic together with the great Portuguese jazz singer Maria João. They explore the language of dance and music and try to remember with the body what the mind has forgotten. (esc)
