Compagnie TchéTché: Dimi.  Terrace Theater, Kennedy Center

An all-female dance troupe from Africa's Côte d'Ivoire, Compagnie TchéTché was founded by Béatrice Kombé in 1997 to "show that woman is not the weaker gender." Nearly 10 years later, the company has emerged as a valiant symbol of female energy, passion, and strength. Its name meaning "eagle," TchéTché reconfigures notions of African womanhood through a signature style of dancing at the edge of physical danger, juxtaposed with arresting stillness.
