Participatory ritual with Idio Chichava (Mozambique)
Open to everyone. No previous experience is required. This is an invitation to take part in a shared ritual of being together — building a temporary community through presence and movement. We encourage participants to join for the full week as much as possible, allowing time for the experience to deepen. There will be a moment of public sharing at the end. Registration required – workshop in French and English
This invitation is inspired by 'mapiko', celebratory dances practiced by the Makonde people of the province of Cabo Delgado, which are taught as part of a traditional rite of passage from puberty to adulthood. It is a participative experience open to everyone to share being together in movement understood as ritual for togetherness. It is also an invitation to be part of this immersive experience over several days as it is about an encounter between diverse people to participate in building community by sharing this dancing ritual of coming together. The proposal is about sharing space and story-telling, a gathering that creates a community of being together through dancing rather than working on a specific dance; it is less about being spectators and more about participating as active witnesses. It is a certain way of cultivating presence and community together, a connected being with others, shared by, preserved and still practiced by many traditional cultures, pointing to the importance of shared rituals and values.
