Surrounded by a forest of neon lights, Rwandan dancer and musician Dorothée Munyaneza invokes the black women that colonial archives have tried to erase from history—including Tituba, an enslaved black woman accused in the infamous Salem witch trials.
With graceful, measured movements, striving with every fibre of her being, Munyaneza makes her body a space of resonance and connection. Together with composer and musician Khyam Allami, she conducts a mesmerizing occult ceremony. Her voice transcends the confines of the theatre, and her summons is answered.
Inspired by Maryse Condé’s novel I, Tituba, Black Witch of Salem and an essay by philosopher Elsa Dorlin, this compelling solo piece speaks with multiple voices drawing on many past lives. It’s a vibrant tribute to those forgotten by history, a dazzling act of defiance against invisibilization, and an act of love and restitution.
