More More More... Future - T01442804844

UK Premiere. Continuing on from Dance Umbrella 2009's African Crossroads season, this year we introduce Faustin Linyekula to the UK. More more more...future is a bold and entertaining work akin to a live rock concert with a full band and singers accompanying the three agile male dancers. Linyekula describes his starting point, Ndombolo or Congolese pop music, as the "bastard daughter of rumba, traditional rhythms, church fanfares and Sex Machine funk". Musical director and exceptional guitarist, Flamme Kapaya, inserts a hefty dose of punk rage and extraordinary energy into the spirit of Ndombolo, in a passionate response to their country’s legacy of war, terror and economic collapse. The sensual and flamboyant dancers together with the live music make for a surprisingly uplifting show that appeals to dance and music-lovers alike.
