Cirque Kikasse in “SANTÉ!”
San Francisco International Arts Festival
Is a high-energy circus show where world class acrobatics, breathtaking balances and contagious energy collide — all aboard an extraordinary truck. The troupe prepares their rooftop terrace for service through a series of playful transformations, from arranging furniture that becomes a balancing tower 35 feet off the ground, to the deliberately inefficient cleaning of the […]

Nikitha Sreekant and Kalakshetra Reshma Rajeev in “Nada-Jyoti” & Pooja Ganesh and Eve Salonen in “Tatkar y Taconeo : Steps of two worlds”
San Francisco International Arts Festival
Nada-Jyoti, the eternal interplay between sound and light, Shiva and Shakti, and consciousness and energy. From the infinite stillness of Shiva arises Ādi Nāda, the primordial vibration that breathes life into the cosmos, where rhythm and sound give form to existence before dissolving back into silence. “Tatkaar y Taconeo – Steps of Two worlds” blends […]
inkBoat in “Clouds from a Crumbling Giant: our wild shining days”
San Francisco International Arts Festival
Clouds from a Crumbling Giant: our wild shining days, breathes in the spaces of time between human incarnations. Broken yet boundless bodies enter the waiting room of the afterlife. As they re-enact their corporeal memories, consciousness folds in upon itself. 496 moons rise and fall. The band plays “Hazy Shade of Winter.”
Mufutau Yusuf in “Impasse”
San Francisco International Arts Festival
A powerful, driving, high-speed performance with a set and props that reference African immigration, and confronting the biased narratives etched onto Black bodies throughout history. By challenging the historical racial projections of blackness – its crudeness, threat, sexuality, rage and immorality – the performance unveils its power, grace, sensuality, tenderness, intelligence and love. Impasse goes beyond […]

People’s Circus Theatre in “The Unfinished Work of Camille Claudel”
San Francisco International Arts Festival
Camille Claudel was an Impressionist sculptor in France at the turn of the century. She defied expectations of women at the time by creating dynamic pieces that shocked the art establishment. Single-handedly, Camille manipulated marble into artworks that tenderly exposed the full range of her subjects’ humanity. She was a visionary, but Claudel’s genius came […]

Ici N'Est Pas La Paroisse (This Is Not The Parish) is a personal research into the artists' African identity, their roots, spiritual values, and their divine creators.

Melissa Cruz Flamenco in “Flamenco Cabaret”
San Francisco International Arts Festival
Cruz presents a diverse program of dances, expressing the full spectrum of human emotion. Deep cante jondo juxtaposes with light-hearted cante chico. The pulse of palmas and the stirring poly-rhythms of heelwork weave and unravel to create tension and release so emblematic of flamenco. A guitar’s rapid picado and thundering rasgueado meet articulating arms and […]
