Urban Soul Café

Let’s be honest: this could be a sentimental mess. But if choreographer Christoph Winkler and Kiwi hip-hop dancer Aloalii Tapu can pull it off, Urban Soul Café is going to be an important comment on working between indigenous and avantgarde dance traditions. The title comes from Tapu’s Stammtisch in Auckland, New Zealand, but nods to Pina Bausch’s Café Müller, which Tapu collages with Maori hakas and Taylor Swift’s music video choreography.
