Ula Sickle

Kinshasa Electric

Four young dancers from Kinshasa demonstrate their hometown’s most whacky and hip street dance moves and styles, a derivative from local and international pop trends. They are backed up by the soundtrack of the German-Israeli DJ Daniela Bersha, aka Baba Electronica, with whom they have elaborated the soundtrack. In an unbiased and fascinating way, the Brussels-based Canadian choreographer Ula Sickle investigates the cultural sampling and remix techniques of a globalised world. «Kinshasa Electric» is a must see!
