In It is Like a Finger Pointing a Way to the Moon, Moya Michael explores the movement of various unyielding languages.
Following the lauded Coloured Swan trilogy and Outwalkers, choreographer Moya Michael proposes to dance close to the guardians of the words, movements, and rhythms she encountered in South Africa and Namibia. After meeting with '!Amace, Be, and their Ju/'Hoansi family', she collaborates with a group of invited artists to create the performance It's Like a Finger Pointing a Way to the Moon.
Together, they delve into the movement of various unyielding languages. Guided by Bruce Lee's allusion to an ancient Zen Buddhist wisdom in his seminal film Enter the Dragon—“Don't focus on the finger or you'll miss all that celestial glory!”—she proposes to move with what we cannot grasp. The aim is to disappear to preserve the words that precede us, that have never left us, and to transform in order to honor what came before.
