Currently taking place in Berlin at HAU Hebbel am Ufer, the new contemporary dance festival curated by Alex Moussa Sawadogo entitled "Moussokouma: Contemporary Dance from Algeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Morocco, Senegal, South Africa". Seven world class performances are being staged, most of them as German Premieres, and will be accompanied by film screenings, workshops and artist talks. The explicit focus of Moussokouma is on female dancers. On the African continent, women are among the pioneers of contemporary dance. In countries where it is considered a political act to appear on stage, female artists have transgressed the old narratives of colonialism and have become self-confident acting subjects.
