As part of NORDWIND Festival 2017, Vincent Sekwati Koko Mantsoe will show his second solo performance developed by himself: Gula (Bird). Birds as a world of fascination: they can fly, communicate with their bodies, can maintain their position in the air against the wind and communicate via harmonies – precisely and unceasingly. Mantsoe goes in search of the movement of birds and creates a fascinating dance piece somewhere between break-dance, ballet and traditional African dance that suspends gravity.
Vincent Sekwati Koko Mantsoe is an international prize-winning choreographer and dancer from Soweto in South Africa. For his piece Gula, he was awarded the NB VITA Choreography Award and in 1996 the Prix d‘auteur at the fifth Rencontres Choregraphiques Internationales de Seine-Saint- Denis.
The pieces Je(u) by Laurent Chétouane and Gula by Vincent Sekwati Koko Mantsoe will be presented for the first time together at NORDWIND and can be seen as a reflection of the different dance traditions in Africa and Europe.
