Celebrated Congolese choreographer Faustin Linyekula turns On the Boards into a social club and soukous party for this dance theater spectacle. As people eat, drink and listen to a live pop band, Linyekula’s 5-member company layer the festive environment with dance, political speeches and personal stories to reveal the corruption and conflict found in their war-torn country. Premiere Congolese soukous musician (and Tacoma resident) Wawali Bonane will provide the live music for the show.
*Doors open at 7pm. Bring extra cash to purchase food before or during the show from Jacques Sarr (former owner of the Belltown hotspot Afrikando).
