Mi Pret'i Wowo
Mi Pret'i Wowo (the apple of my eye) is an interdisciplinary rhythmic quest for connection and healing. A duet danced by choreographer Junadry Leocaria and her father, former professional dancer Junny Candido Maduro.
Afro-Caribbean dance styles, Latin, Waacking and live visual storytelling come together in a performance that highlights the complexity of the relationship between father and daughter. It shows the vulnerable side of a proud man longing for forgiveness, compassion and love from his daughter. Through film, live drawings and storytelling, visual artist Richard Kofi also portrays a rich past of dance traditions and cultures passed down from generation to generation.
Mi Pret'i Wowo takes you to a world where collective healing is central, weaknesses are allowed to be shown and space is created for new stories.
