Dorothée Munyaneza and the Kadidi Company: Umoko

Dancers in Umoko.

July 26–28, 2026
Taborstraße 101020 Wien, Austria, Austria

Dorothée Munyaneza has led a necessarily peripatetic life. Exiled from genocidal Rwanda as a child to come of age in Britain, she then forged a sophisticated career of choreographed sung story in France. Nevertheless, her work is rooted in history. She is committed to reflecting upon what has not been properly remembered. For Umoko, Munyaneza directs young Rwandan dancers, poets, and musicians to imagine a future homeland that “does not forget.” —Apollinaire Scherr
