Selfies na Machamba
Performance
# "... aparently, I am from one of the so-called " third-world " countries and I am eager to find out where are the first-world ones! They say, my people live under the poverty line! -------- The term makes me laugh! I mean, who have drawn this line above our heads? ///////////// They say my country is a post-colony but I never saw them leaving..."
This solo performance sculpts the anxiety of being stuck for decades witnessing and being entangled in the mechanisms that reproduce
the stereotype of the “African inferiority".
`While making a body scan
I tell a fictional narrative based on the failing Mozambican Development policies under the Western eye
it captures gender, race, and, folklore discourses interconnecting with my childhood memories.
Presented at KINANI festival of Contemporary Dance; Maputo, 2017
