«Future, what is that?» The 35-year-old award-winning Congolese choreographer Faustin Linkyekula is considered to be one of the great innovators of African dance. In his native country, worn down by years of corruption and violence, most people have become jaded about the future. Linyekula and his company of musicians and dancers vigorously defy this attitude: «more more more ...future» is a wild fusion of club evening, punk opera and dance performance. It mixes the radicalism of European punk with the lively energy of Ndombolo, a Congolese pop music style. But most of all it makes an optimistic and empowering statement about the future of the Congo. The political prisoner Antoine Vumilia Huhindo, who contributed the texts, has stated: If you don’t know what tomorrow brings, any future becomes possible. (esc)
