“My name is Faustin — I come from Congo, somewhere in Central Africa.” That’s how Faustin Linyekula introduced himself last week in Brooklyn. The phrase could have come from one of the dance-theater works that inspired @frieze_magazine to call him “quite possibly the most important artist working on the African continent today.” But the #choreographer wasn’t onstage. It was the first day of “Festival of Dreams,” a 2-week workshop with @itsshowtimenyc, a program that helps street dancers find legal alternatives to performing in subway cars. 23 participants were working with him at #BRICHouse, building toward free performances in which they would share their dreams for a better future. That idea might seem to invite easy Hallmark-card sentiments. But not when Faustin is explaining it. Talking to the dancers, he briskly summarized his home country as “quite a messy place,” where “if 100 people die, it is not news.” His approach isn’t a physical technique so much as “a way of thinking about who we are,” a form of poetry and storytelling written with the body. “My dance is about who I am,” he said.
