THE MUKISHI
Angola/Portugal/United States
The Harlem-based Batoto Yetu, whose name means "our children,"
was formed by Angolan choreographer Julio Leitão in 1990. With pulsing drums
and high-octane steps, Leitão has spread the gospel of African dance with
his rich ensemble of Portuguese and African American children. The Mukishi,
a collaboration with puppeteer/mask-maker Garland Farwell, uses the mythical
figure of the Mukishi as a metaphor for the African spirit. Ages 6 and
up.
