SUMMARY:Compagnie de la Citadelle
DESCRIPTION:James Kudelka’s Half an Hour of Our Time was originally commissioned by Moonhorse Dance Theatre in 2008\, and performed by Claudia Moore and Dan Wild. This 30-minute duet was primarily influenced by Jean Cocteau and Francis Poulenc’s one-act opera\, La voix humaine. Performed in silence\, this duet for a woman and a man is dense with incident.  Everything that has bound this couple is now unravelling before us.

SUMMARY:Peeping Tom
DESCRIPTION:Recalling the shifting surrealism of filmmaker David Lynch\, the paired works of Diptych (The missing door and The lost room) bring together a collection of odd and archetypal individuals and subjects them to a corkscrew journey of extraordinary proportions. \nFounded by Gabriela Carrizo and Franck Chartier\, the Belgium-based Peeping Tom obliterates the border between theatre and dance\, roping together a hyperrealist aesthetic with real-world settings to fashion a disquieting mix of performance genres. \nWith elements of film noir\, dark comedy\, and foley-effects\, the work undermines the seeming solidity of actual places (a ship’s cabin\, a banal hallway) with nightmare logic. Within the slip and slide of altered perceptions and an unreliable narrative\, the characters act out a series of increasingly bizarre scenarios. Coherence and stability fracture\, then shatter\, as theatrical conceits are revealed to be just that. \nAs the story shapeshifts in real time\, peeling back the layers of cinematic convention to pose unsettling questions about the nature of reality\, nothing is as it seems.

SUMMARY:Y2Cali Kiki Ball
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the Y2Cali Kiki Ball\, where the glamour of Beverly Hills’s rich and famous meets the wild 2000s. Designer drama\, tabloid scandals\, and iconic pop culture moments defined a generation. It’s all about money\, fame\, and messy reality TV energy—red carpet arrivals\, paparazzi chases\, and juicy drama of Hollywood’s elite. From the sun-soaked beaches of Malibu to the velvet rope exclusivity of LA’s hottest clubs\, bring looks and attitude – rich\, reckless\, and ridiculously iconic. In the 2000s\, Southern California was not just about looking at the part but about playing the game.

SUMMARY:Edward Sembatya
DESCRIPTION:Echoes of Manyatta is a poignant\, stirring dance production that explores the intricate dynamics of the Karamojong community. Through the language of movements\, texture\, polyrhythms\, call and response\, speed\, and control\, Echoes of Manyatta captures the raw emotions and resilient spirit of the Karamojongs. The dancers embody the strength\, perseverance\, struggles\, tenacity\, chaos\, resilience\, and aspirations of a people locked in a cycle of historical disputes\, portraying their daily lives and the echoes of their ancestral land. This performance is a recontextualization of the narratives\, movements\, and socio-historical knowledge inherent in the Angema\, Achemchem\, Ayopo\, Ekaro\, and Naleyo dances of the Karamojong people. It explores significant dichotomies\, illustrating how traditional customs occasionally conflict with contemporary realities and how these tensions influence a community’s collective identity. The production invites you to experience the deep-seated traditions and the transformative contemporary influences that continue to shape and challenge the lives and futures of the Karamojong people. A Manyatta/Ere is a typical Karamojong traditional homestead built in an enclosed\, encircled residential area featuring a small access point for people and a bigger entryway for cattle. It comprises several families and shared areas for livestock.
