Located at the intersection between dance and sculpture, “CHISSSANO – rite for Mabungulane” is a choreographic solo inspired by the life-work of Mozambique’s most influential sculptor, Alberto Mabungulane Chissano (1935 – 1994). Chissano’s work, created during the decade of Mozambique’s War of Independence (1964 to 1974) and during the Civil War (1975 to 1992), reflects the struggle, suffering and achievements of his people.
