ENOWATE by Dickson Mbi

Enowate, choreographed and performed by dancer extraordinaire Dickson Mbi, conjures a solo performance at a numinous intersection between the mystical traditions of his African heritage and the contemporary rhythms of his upbringing in London’s East End.

A dancer of extraordinary power and grace, Dickson Mbi conjures multiple identities in this spellbinding solo performance, inspired by a transformative journey to his ancestral home in Cameroon. Enowate, meaning “truth stands”, weaves together sinuous elements of hip-hop and contemporary dance, original music, and otherworldly animated projections. In asking the universal question, “Who am I?,” Mbi connects with enigmatic forces, revealing himself and stepping from the shadows into the light.
