January 4 - 12, 2019
PLEASE AlSO NOTE: THE AUDIENCE WILL BE STANDING DURING THE SHOW (accommodations can be made for those with disabilities by e-mailing info@jackny.org).
In this remix of her 2018 piece 100% POP, choreographer/dancer nora chipaumire reckons with the production and consumption of pop sound and imagery in the hyper-reality of global capitalism, resurrecting the era of drum magazines, African broadcast stations, color bars, and a people with active connections to rural and township lifestyles. It considers shabeens (illicit beer halls), pungwe (all night rituals) and juke joints as the powerful breeding grounds of Southern Africa‘s musical talents (and not art schools).
