NA KOLONIA sheds light on marginalized Black experiences through the body. The piece confronts the injuries and silence related to slavery and colonialism.

The play dances across the silence of generations with an unrivaled energy. Deeply rooted, expressive movements confront the wounds of history, celebrating strength, resilience, and an unbroken will to be oneself and reclaim cultural identity.

This performance is an invitation to reflect on racism and our own humanity. NA KOLONIA recognises the power of collective memory. How to remain?
