New York Live Arts, BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) and L\u2019Alliance New York on Oct. 5 announced the US premiere of \u201cToi, moi, Tituba\u2026\u201d by Doroth\u00e9e Munyaneza and Kadidi Company on Oct. 23 and 24, 2026 at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n
The event takes place at New York Live Arts, 219 W 19th Street, New York, NY, 10011.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do we summon the presence of someone who is gone? How can we bring something to life if it is no longer there?\u201d New York Live Arts said.\n<\/p>\n
It said \u201cToi, moi, Tituba\u2026\u201d is based on French philosopher Elsa Dorlin\u2019s essay on the heroine of Maryse Cond\u00e9\u2019s acclaimed novel, Moi, Tituba, sorci\u00e8re.\n<\/p>\n
As a Black woman and so-called witch, New York Live Arts said Tituba gives a voice to those who are silenced by force and erased from history.\n<\/p>\n
Inspired by this story, it said Doroth\u00e9e Munyaneza uses her own body as an archive.\n<\/p>\n
With composer Khyam Allami, New York Live Arts said she makes suppressed voices \u201caudible, visible, and tangible once more.\n<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2019Toi, moi, Tituba\u2026\u2019 is a striking \u2018collective solo\u2019 presenting a multiplicity of silenced voices and perspectives through movement and music,\u201d it said.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cToi, moi, Tituba\u2026\u201d is presented by New York Live Arts, in association with BAM, L\u2019Alliance New York\u2019s Crossing The Line, and Villa Albertine.\n<\/p>\n
Based in Marseille, New York Live Arts said Doroth\u00e9e Munyaneza is a multi-disciplinary artist using music, song, text and movement to deal with rupture as a dynamic force.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cMunyaneza draws from real stories seizing body, memory, and our times to create a space of resonance,\u201d it said.\n<\/p>\n
Originally from Rwanda, New York Live Arts said Doroth\u00e9e Munyaneza moved to England with her family in the summer of 1994 at 12.\n<\/p>\n
She trained at the Jonas Foundation in London, studied music and social sciences in Canterbury, before moving to France, New York Live Arts said.\n<\/p>\n
In 2006, it said she met Fran\u00e7ois Verret, and they collaborated on \u201cSans Retour,\u201d \u201cIce,\u201d \u201cCabaret,\u201d and \u201cDo you remember, no I don\u2019t.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Since then, New York Live Arts said other collaborations have included Radouan Mriziga, Alain Mah\u00e9, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Pauvros, Robyn Orlin, Ko Murobushi, Nan Goldin, St\u00e9phanie Coudert, Rachid Ouramdane, Maud Le Pladec, Alain Buffard, Maya Mihindou and Ben LaMar Gay.<\/p>\n
In 2013, New York Live Arts said Munyaneza founded the Kadidi company in Marseille.\n<\/p>\n
In 2020, New York Live Arts said Doroth\u00e9e Munyaneza translated \u201cHopelessly Devoted\u201d by Kae Tempest (formerly known as Kate Tempest).\n<\/p>\n
Published by L\u2019Arche \u00c9diteur, Inconditionnelles was staged by Doroth\u00e9e in November 2024 at the invitation of the Bouffes du Nord in Paris, according to New York Live Arts said.\n<\/p>\n
It said Munyaneza was an associate artist at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre la Ville in Paris from 2018 to 2021, and is now associated with the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre National de Chaillot and the Maison de la Danse and the Dance Biennale in Lyon.<\/p>\n
In 2024, New York Live Arts said she was awarded the Salavisa European Dance Award at the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New York Live Arts, BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) and L\u2019Alliance New York on Oct. 5 announced the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-375094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
