Germaine Acogny: Somewhere at the Beginning

French Institute Alliane Française's Crossing the Line festival presents the U.S. premiere of a solo work by the septuagenarian Senegalese artist Germaine Acogny, who is commonly referred to as the mother of contemporary African dance. Co-created and directed by Mikaël Serre, the piece recounts Acogny's personal history in a framework inspired by ancient Greek tragedy.
