The major international work Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna is landing in The Hague during Cadance Festival! In Malagasy, the three words mean comparison, transfer and rivalry. These notions come together in a dance performance full of theatre and live music, in which four bodies search for a new form of otherness. They challenge each other, choose each other, and shake off the countless layers of violence that shape them, breaking free from stigma and narrative.

Body and history

In this dance performance, the acclaimed choreographer and performer Soa Ratsifandrihana explores how bodies and history are connected, and where they differ. Together with guitarist Joël Rabesolo and performers Audrey Merilus and Stanley Ollivier, she investigates how bodies break their silence and use language as an instrument.

In an accessible and incisive way, Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna brings the children of the diaspora back into conversation with their place of origin. A multi-voiced story in which the shattering of these experiences is as vivid as their appropriation.

Part of Cadance Festival

With Cadance 2027, you’ll discover the creative power of migration in boundary-pushing music and dance. Because let’s face it: without migration, we’d be nowhere. With countless performances by Korzo makers and national and international performers, you’ll experience what emerges between the boxes: where cultures, bodies and ideas meet and question each other.
