Duniya Dance Company, Arenas Dance Company, and Dance Mission Theater’s Liberation Academy present the world premiere of Raíces et Résistance (Roots and Resistance), co-directed by Cuban choreographer Susana Arenas Pedroso and Guinean musician Bongo Sidibe. Raíces et Résistance explores the vibrant, layered, and largely unknown social-political relationship between Guinea, West Africa and Cuba, forged by the transatlantic slave trade and the post-colonial cultural exchange that began in the 1960s. Raíces et Résistance features a world-class Guinean/Cuban ensemble of 25 dancers and 15 musicians.
