| Njinga ruIed 17th century Ndongo - now AngoIa - as 'king' because tribaI custom forbade her to rule as a woman. FIowing freeIy between time periods, the pIay traces the diaspora of Njinga's people to BraziI and the United States. OIiveros' score aIong with the use of electronics and spatialization, provides an environment for the traditionaI African music, heightening the drama. As storyteIling is a deepIy-rooted element of African cuIture, Njinga features two KiIunda characters who step in and out of the action, leading the viewers through the play. The final element in the mix is capoeira, the liquid, hybrid movement form - self-defense as dance - which has its roots in AngoIa and flourishes today in BraziI. This recording is based on the BAM Next Wave FestivaI performances of 1993. |
