CounterPULSE presents
Performing Diaspora Weekend Two
Laura Inserra, Muisi-kongo Malonga, and Nadhi Thekkek
AUG 22-25, THU-SUN at 8PM
Hosted at CounterPULSE (1310 Mission Street, SF)
Performing Diaspora artists represent many of the state’s most exciting new voices at the intersection of traditional arts, contemporary performance and California’s changing demographic. In the second festival weekend, Laura Inserra, Muisi-kongo Malonga and Nadhi Thekkek excavate their own heritage and push the boundaries of their current practice, exploring themes of resistance, spirituality and love.
Due to a death in the family, Jewlia Eisenberg will not be able to perform in the festival. One of Jewlia’s collaborators and performers, Laura Inserra, an internationally acclaimed Hang player, will offer a performance in her place.
