Artist for Dance. “KEMET – Black Lands” explores identity through a striking
solo performance, while “Alkamal Walkamal Almutlaq – Completeness and Absolute
Wholeness” brings a trio to the stage in a dynamic meditation on unity and
transformation. Presented in partnership with JOMBA!, the Market Theatre, and
the National Arts Festival.
KEMET – Black Lands: A solo work that traverses generational alienation,
political defiance, and personal emancipation. Rooted in Afro-contemporary
expression, it navigates the intersections of space, politics, and culture,
transforming the body into a vessel of ancestral memory and self-liberation.
Ruda’s movement affirms presence in a world that often marginalises
difference.
Alkamal Walkamal Almutlaq or Completeness and Absolute Wholeness (ancient
Arabic), explores the eternal bond between spirit and soul. It delves into how
these elements interconnect to heal and revive. Ethereal Afro-contemporary
movement and symbolic rituals invite audiences to contemplate love, health,
and balance.
