Dorothée Munyaneza: Toi, moi, Tituba...

Dorothée Munyaneza

Aug 18–19, 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. Munyaneza is committed to reflecting upon what has not been properly remembered. For the recent solo Toi, moi, Tituba…, she resurrects the Salem “witch” Tituba. To Khyam Allami’s oud lute, Munyaneza accompanies the 17th-century Black woman’s trials with her own. —Apollinaire Scherr
