Pulga Muchochoma: Where the Drumbeat Meets the Fight
Step into the fire. Pulga Muchochoma—Mozambican-born, Canadian-forged—isn’t just dancing. He’s conjuring something deeper. A double bill that hits like thunder and echoes like truth, this performance doesn’t ask for your attention—it demands it.
First up: NGOMA. One man. One question. One ancestral heartbeat. “Ngoma” means drum in Chuabo, but here it’s more than that. It’s a pulse from the womb, a memory coded in muscle and bone. Pulga takes the stage alone, but the ancestors are in the room. It’s a visceral solo that spirals through identity, belonging, and the question we all carry: Whose rhythm am I really moving to?
Then comes INKOSI—Zulu for “king”—an ensemble piece that doesn’t just nod to Mandela; it steps into his shoes, walks through the bars of his prison, and rises again with defiant grace. Backed by a powerhouse company of five, Pulga turns choreography into testimony. It’s sweat, struggle, hope—and the unbreakable will of a man who carried a nation in his chest.
These aren’t just dances. They’re declarations. Come ready to feel something. Come ready to move.
