Faustin Linyekula I Studios Kabako
My Body, My Archive

Presented in partnership with Under the Radar
In My Body, My Archive, Congolese dancer and choreographer Faustin Linyekula explores the ways a body can hold and convey the histories of those who have come before. Linyekula uses dance to narrate stories of his ancestors, a journey that began in 2017 with Banataba, a tribute to his maternal lineage originating from a small village on the Congo River. Building on this exploration, Linyekula unearths and shares the histories of the women in his family. Linyekula imagines his own artistic journey in terms of his personal circle and asserts that archives of the body cannot be experienced alone. Companions, dancers, actors and musicians accompany him in this journey, helping him to tell stories, reactivate collective and personal memories and carry immaterial archives.
