The piece stems from personal stories and experience of its international cast of collaborative authors of whom all are in their own way linked to Africa and source their work from African culture.\n\nThe word Dia means prosperity in Malinke, one of the languages of West Africa, Diasso means a good home (the word is also the surname of the choreographer’s father), whilst the word Diasspora speaks about the state of constant dichotomy between the homelands of the two parents and about the many faces of being different or the experience of (not) belonging.\n\nWith this striking piece of dance and music its authors have overcome the boundaries of countries and even continents and brought originality, spontaneity and openness onto the Slovenian cultural scene. \n\nDancer and choreographer Maša Kagao Knez trained in Paris at the George Momboye’s school for traditional and contemporary African dance. She lives and works in Ljubljana where she was born. ORGANIZER;CN="TELEKOM": END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
