Ce solo, imaginé par Asadata Dafora, est une des premières compositions sur la scène occidentale à fusionner la danse moderne et les mouvements africains.
This solo is one of the first compositions on the western stage to combine modern dance and African movement. Asadata Dafora, who immigrated to the United States in 1929, delivers his choreographic vision of traditional African dance presented on stage with the canons of western dance. The dancer is transformed into a majestic, powerful bird.
