The multifaceted artist, Leco Nkhululeco, will present, on Friday, at the Franco-Mozambican Cultural Center, in the City of Maputo, the multidisciplinary “Mhamba – the sky also feeds on stars “.According to Franco, the performance unites poetry, music, theater and dance, challenging the status quo (pre-existing cultural or social norms), shedding light on the vital importance of preserving and celebrating cultural traditions in the midst of a world constantly changing. “Mhamba – the sky also feeds on stars” is a poetic journey, an artistic expression that connects with the past and present, inspiring us to reflect on ancestors and the essence of existence.”Tinguluve”, a relevant brand of the ritual, translates as a call to honor ancestors, the place where they find meaning in their continued existence. Each family keeps memories of those who have passed away, and it is for them and for them that the great Mhamba ceremony takes place.”Nkhululeco explores the richness of Mozambican culture, rescuing it from the oblivion imposed by ‘clerical imperialism’. He reinterprets the Mhamba tradition giving voice to the collective ancestry that was once subjugated. The show encourages reflection on African ontology (understanding the nature of existence, reality and the essence of life from an African perspective), revealing the intrinsic mechanics behind of ritual sacrifices, offerings and evocations to the gods as a form of retribution or gratitude”, reads the press release.
