651 ARTS presents Tales of Home: Congo/Mozambique, a unique two-evening program of dance-theater featuring extraordinary contemporary artists from the African continent. In both full length works, Linyekula and Canda grapple with the complex histories of their countries by re-igniting memories of and/or experiences with their fathers. They present, in very different ways, intimate, and personal points of view on colonialized Africa; their home countries; family and national histories; and on our global society.
