Frozen Power - Tanz Performance by MUDA Africa, Dar es Salaam

Short films by children from Cameroon, Venezuela, Papua New Guinea and Peru

Frozen Power - Tanz Performance by MUDA Africa, Dar es Salaam – Frozen Power - Tanz Performance by MUDA Africa, Dar es Salaam

In the dance production “Frozen Power”, five performers and a live musician guide the audience through a multifaceted story that tells of power struggles, intrigues and the lived resistance against German colonial rule in Tanzania.

“Muda" means “time” in Swahili, which on the one hand refers to movement, dance, rhythm and space, but also to a modern, urban Africa that combines with traditional knowledge and wisdom. MUDA Africa stands for the present, which is firmly rooted in the past and defines our vision for the future.”

MUDA Africa is a production center and training ground for contemporary dance in Dar es Salaam. Founded on the belief that art and creativity are essential for the development and sustenance of social, cultural and economic life, MUDA Africa is today one of the main centers of the young Tanzanian creative scene. As a professional school for contemporary dance, it has produced numerous dancers and choreographers and, as a rehearsal and performance venue, presents a new in-house production and guest performances from Tanzania and neighboring countries all year round.

Choreographer Ian Mwaisunga begins his piece on a street corner in Dar es Salaam, where a coffee vendor offers the audience a story to go with the coffee - a story that can be told in one way or another. “Frozen Power” makes no claim to truth, but aims to open up a space for the negotiation of memory, of a shared past and a possible future.

Inspired by the historical figure of “Sultana”, a female ruler from the Singida region who was said to have extraordinary powers, the poetic dance piece addresses both the role of female rulers in anti-colonial resistance and the need to re-appropriate and re-imagine historical figures for today's Tanzania.
