Compagnie Jant-Bi was founded in 1998 with the aim of becoming a creative cradle for dancers from the whole of Africa. Combining movement and music from traditional dance forms with contemporary themes and dynamic physical virtuosity, Jant-Bi takes African dance in captivating new directions. The New York Times characterized the company’s work as “powerfully direct, emotionally authentic.” Jant-Bi will perform Waxtaan, a new piece that explores African politics with cheeky, insightful humor. We’re thrilled to open the World Dance season with Compagnie Jant-Bi’s Meany Hall debut.
