Fampitaha, fampita, fampitàna – three Malagasy words that mean comparison, transmission and rivalry. In a score of abstract and figurative gestures, dancer and choreographer Soa Ratsifandrihana makes use of her own experience of diaspora and her Madagascan origins to tell us the kind of story she would have liked to have heard or seen as a child. Blending radio, musical and choreographic storytelling, the show plays with orality and movement, reminding us that our bodies, just like our words and sounds, are bearers of stories. Ratsifandrihana – who came to attention as a dancer in Rosas’ new version of Fase – drew inspiration from the words and stories she picked up on a recent trip to Madagascar. Joined by guitarist Joël Rabesolo and performers Audrey Merilus and Stanley Ollivier, she travels towards a form of wandering, exploring how several influences can lead to an unheard-of explosion of cultures like creolisation. Just as the change in accentuation between ‘fampitaha’, ‘fampita’ and ‘fampitàna’ alters the word’s meaning, the dancers glide from one state to another, seemingly following a constantly changing movement – or perhaps a form of creolisation.
