Following on from her previous piece Lessons of Darkness, the encounter with dancer Adélaïde Desseauve, alias Mulunesh, led Betty Tchomanga to pursue her dialogue with Krump, its history, its energy and its ability to turn dance into a discourse, to transform violence.

This portrait is a dialogue between Adélaïde and Mulunesh that approaches history from the point of view of its holes, of loss. How do relationships of domination and discrimination play out in a situation of transnational adoption? How does the experience of discrimination mark the history of certain bodies? How do we grow as individuals when our memory is erased? How can we reconstruct history from silence?
