PROCESS THIS: Faustin Linyekula — A History in Rehearsal

I went to the Cedar Cultural Center Monday to shoot video of a rehearsal for Festival of Lies, from Congolese choreographer Faustin Linyekula and his ensemble, Les Studios Kabako. Instead of rehearsing, Linyekula talked to several local guest artists, performing in his work Saturday, about the history and process leading to this piece. Performances are November 1-3 at the Cedar.

And here’s a piece of video of the company in performance.
