Come Wakaforé: Wow (World of Words)

Come Wakaforé: Wow (World of Words) arrives at the Kupferberg Center for the Arts as a live performance that treats language as both subject and material. Cirque Kalabanté anchors the evening with circus-based movement that reads like a physical glossary, where gesture carries meaning before words do. The work sits in a New York context where multilingual life is ordinary, and it asks what gets lost or gained when stories move between tongues. One clear strength is its refusal to separate verbal speech from embodied communication.
