Foofwa d’Imobilité has danced for the Stuttgart Ballet and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. As a choreographer since 1998, he has been recognized as an atypical creator.
His latest project, Dancewalks, has seen him dance more than 600 kilometers in Switzerland, France, Italy, Russia, Bosnia-and-Herzegovina, Iran, Mali, Burkina-Faso, South Africa, China, and now India.
On a three-week tour through Delhi, Aizawl and Bengaluru, his company, Neopost Foofwa, will carry out indoor and outdoor Dancewalks in each city.
Indoor Dancewalks allow a more analytical or intimate presentation of dancewalking: Retroperspectives gives a LIVE history of the Dancewalks in movements, words and images, while Voyage proposes a journey towards freedom through a dance traveling within the enclosed space.
The outdoor Dancewalk (on tour in Delhi – Aizawl – Bengaluru) involves dancing for several kilometers through a part of a city. It is also a social and politic-ethical act through art, joy and a sense of community. Accompanied by dancers of his company, working with local dancers, musicians and artists, as well as inviting anybody to join the dance through workshops and classes, Foofwa declares through this dance in the public space that each one of us can reclaim one’s freedom and pride of being unique.
