“Evoking both the inner migration of beings and the geopolitical or geographical
migration of Mozambicans, Chichava sketches a human tapestry where body and
symbolism intertwine. (…) Festive in the energy the bodies bring to the space until exhaustion, the work distills an atmosphere of permanent resistance, expressedthrough tense bodies, repetitive gestures, and voices that, in unison, weave life narratives deeply rooted in a melancholic present.” Lotte Ogiers, Pzazz

“The group explodes into a pulsating crowd, emanating overwhelming energy that fills the room. Their bodies radiate strength, intensifying with every synchronized step. Their cries reinforce this collective feeling. It resonates with our bodies too: even offstage, you feel your heart pounding and your body vibrating with adrenaline. In this collective experience, the essence of theater is fully alive.” Philippe Couture, La Pointe

“More than a work about migration, Vagabundus explores solidarity and the beauty of the collective, as well as a certain aspiration for the transcendent, a metaphysical impulse. Alongside group compositions that celebrate the synchronicity of gestures, the performers deliver magnificent, uninterrupted a cappella singing—at times sensual, at times mesmerizing, always deeply cathartic. (…) The performance is a vibrant celebration of the fusion between traditional practices and contemporary reinventions.” Olivier Frégaville-Gratian d’Amore, L’Oeil d’Olivier
