PERFORMANCE (MUSIC & DANCE)

NEW CEREMONIES

HOTHABANERA, Marie Moïse, CATARINA DEL JESUS, ERIK SEVRET, ABLO MAX, NAPOLEON MADDOX (2024)

The considerations behind New Ceremonies are the roots and development of Jamaican culture, music, terminology and dance as resistance. Flavia (Hothabanera) and Erik are accompanied by Marie, Catarina, Ablo Max and Napoleon in actualizing this project through creative writing support, and dramatic portrayal. The result is a choreographic work to a dub soundtrack that encompasses their experiences and artistic expressions; thinking about personal and collective practices (New Ceremonies) that express awareness of heritage and efforts toward liberation.

Don’t be disturbed by the noise of Babylon,
go walk tuff with the spirit of a bird…
Like a dream we remember for the trees
inside the linpha of the life
Garden full of style
Garden full of life
We are That dream, baby
Oh, baby, we are that dream
Watch us inside the reality
Long is the road, dope
We tuff we realize the real lies
Long time we ah suffer but it turned
Watch the power of beauty
Love power, more power
More fire
One.

(Hothabanera)
