US Tour of “An Immigrant’s Story” and “A disguised welcome…” by Wanjiru Kamuyu

In An Immigrant’s Story, Wanjiru Kamuyu explores an immigrant’s place and sense of belonging and takes us on a personal journey with intimate stories of finding herself uprooted, being different to others and trying desperately to find her place.

A solo exploration of the experience of displacement, A disguised welcome… draws inspiration from Kenyan-born, France-based choreographer Wanjiru Kamuyu‘s experiences in Africa, North America, and Europe, offering a bitingly satirical look at the notions of center and periphery.

The U.S. tour of Wanjiru Kamuyu is part of Albertine Dance Season: A year-long celebration of the art of dance from inception to performance.
