Declassified Memory Fragment is a 70 minute dance theater work with live music inspired by ideas and themes around memory, history, and images of some of the political and cultural realities affecting the continent of Africa. The work was created as an open letter on African society - its lifestyles, cultures, beauty, complexities, and politics. Declassified refers to living in a society where aspects of everyday life are subjected to restrictions and cultural expectations of secrecy and privacy, even within the family. The act of “declassifying” is a process of revealing, exposing what is hidden from view and obscured, not spoken. Estimated artist fee: $6,000/performance, $12,000/week.
