Thirteen performers dance and sing their hearts out, as if in ecstasy. They move as one global body through scenes reminiscent of street life, at times evoking a procession. Periodically, one will escape the dance only to be lovingly reunited with the group. They sing traditional and contemporary Mozambican songs, gospel and baroque motifs. Choreographer Idio Chichava found inspiration in the migratory movements of groups of people and the dance rituals of the Makonde people living in Mozambique and neighbouring countries. He believes only bodies that dance and sing simultaneously express themselves fully and exist in synergy with others. Vagabundus depicts life as a constant coming together and being together in a group, and migration as a possibly emotional, spiritual and collective journey. Chichava explores the expressiveness of the body and points the way to our true selves celebrating life with a pared-down stage design carried entirely by the explosive impact of dance and voices. This dazzling dance production invites us to recognise that our identity is strengthened by the community, through an overwhelming group performance showcasing song and dance as a means of resistance and a ritual of survival.
