BT Dance Project : Kuilenga/The Door (2005)

http://www.btdanceproject.com/ Kuilenga translates as the door in the Burkinabe language Moaga. Kuilenga is a reflection of our lives on this earth as we transition from place to place. We migrate and move from one second to another, from an hour to hour, from country to country, and from one era to the next. Kuilenga is the story of a couple whose journey crosses physical and geographic borders.
