Smail Kanout\u00e9 is a French-Malian dancer, choreographer,\u00a0film maker,\u00a0visual artist and designer based in Paris. Echoing the hashtag #Never21 coined by the Black Lives Matter movement, Never Twenty One<\/em> pays tribute to the young Black men who have been victims of gun violence in New York, Rio de Janeiro and Johannesburg – and will never reach the age of 21. Three powerful dancers \u2013 their torsos inscribed with testimonials from the victims\u2019 families \u2013 recount the stories of broken lives, through ferociously intense movement which draws on krump, popping, contemporary dance, baile funk and pasinho. This is an urban requiem steeped in a shamanistic heritage, a subtle lamentation infused with energy, poetry and humanity.<\/p>\n

There will be ASL interpretation and a post-show talkback at the January 21 performance.<\/p>\n
