About the Performance

Kahina: a tangled root explores the sustainability, water and the intersectionality of the Black Female  Body. The work is inspired by the North African Queen, Warrior and religious Leader, DIHYA KAHINA, who lived during the 7th Century.  She was a Berber and of Jewish Religion but also was known as an animist. The work generates a conscious awareness and expanded knowledge of self and collective identity of the community.  The performance will “un-earth’ significant historical, economical, philosophical and cultural contributions of the Black Female Body utilizing Ancestral Memory, story, song, text, collective memory, pictures and film with an exploration of the landscape of the individual body.  The work explores stories of the notions of giving, sacrifice, warrior, birth, re-birth and erasure.  What is it to be a Black Female in the 21st century?  How does/has the Black Female Body extend itself into the continuum? How has the phenomenology of time effected and affected the embodied knowledge of the Black Female Body in America? The original work is a story of displacement, migration, reciprocity, sustainability, and exile to freedom.
