Hall A - Palazzo dei Congressi
Descendants is an emerging company made up predominantly of Afro-descendant Italian artists, founded and led by Carlos Kamizele, a Congolese dancer and choreographer born in Kinshasa, who moved to Italy at the age of seven and began dancing at fourteen. In this new production, he is joined by twenty-year-old Carolina De Almeida, an outstanding performer born in Imola with Brazilian roots. Together they create *Nyumbani*, a Swahili word meaning “home”, which evokes a sense of belonging or, conversely, the disorientation caused by the lack of recognition of one’s own roots.
