Beyond My Steps
Carte blanche à Pedro Pimenta
Beyond My Steps follows the process of assembling the most recent performance by the only contemporary dance company in Angola. During the creation of the piece (Des)construction, the seven dancers are led to travel through a set of traditional Angolan dances and transform them by giving them new meanings.
