Dag Papa

Duo Solo Danspartners, Theater a/d Rijn

Music for a dance solo by Alioune Diagne.

About

In the performance Day Papa, the Senegalese choreographer, dancer, painter and father Alioune Diagne investigates the male branch of his family tree.

What changes and what stays the same when you become a father? As a father, what do you pass on to your son and what not? How much do previous generations weigh on the choices you make for the future generation? Are you gradually becoming more and more like your father, or not? Dag Papa is a moving solo performance in which Alioune interweaves dance, text and painting – just like his grandfather, who was a weaver.
