Jota Mombaça is an unruly artist and writer whose work derives from poetry, critical theory, and performance. Her practice is related to anti-colonial critique and gender disobedience. Through performance, visionary fiction and situational strategies of knowledge production, she aims to rehearse the end of the world as we know it and the outline of what comes after we evict the colonial-modern subject from its podium. She has presented works in various institutional contexts, such as the São Paulo, Berlin and Sydney biennials.

Nadia Beugré was born in Ivory Coast and, in 1995, debuted as a dancer at Dante Theatre. Her last creation before Prophetic (we’ve born already), L’Homme Rare, a performance with a male quintet, premiered in 2020. For a decade, the artist’s plays have traced a singular path around the margins, the exclusion, the abnormal; they travel through changing identities. In 2020, with Virginie Dupray, she founded the dance company Libr’Arts, a production and training platform.
