Year of research and creation: 2016
World premiere: 2016, Cais Do Valongo (Brazil)
After some twenty days of creation, Rhodnie Désir's stay on Brazilian soil culminated in the performance of BOW'T-Brasil at the Valongo wharf. This work is both an echo of the uprising of the African peoples deported to this South American country, and a wind of hope and social justice, as cherished by their descendants.
