Embarqued, an installation based dance-theatre work, centers around a performative shipmast that invites reflection and reveals post-colonial foundations and mythology. Interrogating existing relationships to memorials, we call up our African ancestral stories integral to making our history united, enabling us to viscerally and holistically connect our country both forwards and backwards in space and time and through soil itself.

Company SBB will be in residence at The Yard from June 1- 21, 2021. Work in progress performances will be June 17-18, 2021 with a rain date on June 19, 2021.
