Dorothée Munyaneza: Umoko

Dorothée Munyaneza

Aug 14–16, 2025

The Rwandan-born 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 the recent Umoko, Munyaneza joins young Rwandan dancers, poets, and musicians to imagine a future homeland that “does not forget.” —Apollinaire Scherr
