Giant
“As I walked on the city’s soil, encountered its people and walked through its genocide memorial. I as an outsider, a female, a Southern African, a Belgian felt it was necessary to not stay silent, share my emotional journey; a moving depiction of this story with new audiences”
-Alesandra Seutin, Artistic Director, Vocab Dance
Giant is a unique and dynamic work that combines dance, song, text & visual installation of film and photography to relay an urban legend based on the realism of Rwanda’s turbulent history. Inspired by Alesandra’s journey through the country, the work delivers a stark, scathing but emotional depiction of a nation in its time of crisis and reminds us that this is a story in which each of us consciously or subconsciously, plays a role and for which there are consequences.

“[Giant is] a stark, uncluttered yet poetic and affecting piece.”
-Herald Scotland
