Victor de Oliveira, an actor and director born in Mozambique, has lived in Paris since 1994. In this intimate solo performance, he questions his origins, mestizaje, slavery, colonialism and exile.
Limbo is a Caribbean dance in which the dancers, with their backs bent, pass under a bar. Of uncertain origin, it is said to be linked to the terrible experience in the holds of the slave ships during the crossing.
Because those he grew up with seemed paralysed in a limbo in which history had placed them, Victor de Oliveira creates a narrative mosaic on stage that, among other elements, traces the intimate history of a mixed-race man born in Mozambique.
