Qui sommes nous ?
Busara Dance Company was founded in August 2009 in Goma North Kivu/Eastern DR Congo, by dancers and choreographers Chito, Chikuru Lwambo and Justin Kabika.
Its creation is based on six years of experience as cultural facilitators in the cultural arts centre yolé! Africa and as dancers in its company Y! Dance, as well as supporting Hip-Hop dancers in Goma. Since 2005, the Lwambo brothers have developed excellent skills and expertise in contemporary dance and choreography through collaboration with various artists, participation in trainings and performance; and by seeking to change their social environment.
The company focuses its work on artistic creation, anti-trauma and social work. It initiates, spearheads and implements cultural projects, while maintaining a contemporary approach to traditional movement. Trying to reach a wide audience, the company aspires to reach different audiences to meet, to exchange and share within the overlapping fields of traditional and contemporary cultures.
The company is an artistic structure with the founding mission of serving the local communities in the Great Lakes Region. It strives to seek peace among the youth in local communities with the use of innovative approaches of social dialogue by using dance as a form of art against the social trauma that haunts this region shaken by conflict and war for so long.
Finally, the company is characterized by the contact with local communities; and the desire to meet others, sharing forms and styles, and finding inspiration in different cultures.

Quoi nini ?
L’Est de la République Démocratique du Congo a connu des
atrocités depuis plusieurs années. La population de cette partie du
pays devient doublement victime des triste événements qui sont
fréquent, et ceux qui survivent le bataille n’échappent peut être pas le viol
ou l’enrôlement forcé dans un groupe armée.
Le fait d’être victime et survivre la violence sexuelle,
être
enfant-soldat démobilisé en RD Congo le rend impossible

la société.
Malgré ce fait, plusieurs personnes survivent les menaces des autres et trouvent le courage de vivre avec cette société qui
les traite des personnes maudits, des personnes sans valeurs pourtant l’habit
ne fait pas le moine. « Quoi ?» traduit en swahili par « Nini ?» et le deux mots
prononcés en swahili [kwanini] qui se traduit [pourquoi ?] en français.
La pièce nous ramène dans la curiosité face aux grandes questions
de la vie: Quoi ? Pourquoi ?

Inspiré des histoires vraies, cette pièce nous ramène la
question éthique de voir et de pouvoir juger soi même étant frère,cousin,parent, responsable ou humain ayant un rôle quelconque dans
la société. Cette pièce célébrera le courage des sans voix
qui luttent du jour au jour pour leur droit et liberté, des toutes personnes marginalisées qui avec ou sans option vivent et
surmontent la souffrance de vivre avec une société qui les
marginalise.
