Echoes of Manyatta
Echoes of Manyatta is a poignant, stirring dance production that explores the intricate dynamics of the Karamojong community. Through the language of movements, texture, polyrhythms, call and response, speed, and control, Echoes of Manyatta captures the raw emotions and resilient spirit of the Karamojongs. The dancers embody the strength, perseverance, struggles, tenacity, chaos, resilience, and aspirations of a people locked in a cycle of historical disputes, portraying their daily lives and the echoes of their ancestral land. This performance is a recontextualization of the narratives, movements, and socio-historical knowledge inherent in the Angema, Achemchem, Ayopo, Ekaro, and Naleyo dances of the Karamojong people. It explores significant dichotomies, illustrating how traditional customs occasionally conflict with contemporary realities and how these tensions influence a community's collective identity. The production invites you to experience the deep-seated traditions and the transformative contemporary influences that continue to shape and challenge the lives and futures of the Karamojong people. A Manyatta/Ere is a typical Karamojong traditional homestead built in an enclosed, encircled residential area featuring a small access point for people and a bigger entryway for cattle. It comprises several families and shared areas for livestock.
While some of these practices are only performed in their place of origin, others (such as yoga and flamenco) take place worldwide. (Loiacono and Julia1).
Echoes of Manyatta
 
serves as the practical element of Edward Sembatya’s research, entitled Performing the Old in the New: African Indigenous Dances in New Bodies, Spaces, Frameworks, and Contexts in the 21st Century. The primary focus of his research is on the teaching, learning, and performance of African Indigenous dance in environments, bodies, and locations that are distinct from their original settings. Specifically, he is looking at the Angema, Achemchem, Ayopo, Ekaro, and Naleyo dances performed by the Karamajong people in northeastern Uganda. His research delves into the themes of interculturalism, cultural appropriation and appreciation, identity, Sankofa, Obuntu/Ubunntu, dance as intangible cultural heritage, decolonization, and cultural deconstruction, among others. The project integrates artistic expressions with academic research. The project provides a reflective and immersive experience, highlighting the trajectories of Edward’s ethnographic research and the lived realities of the Karamojong.
For ethical considerations, and respect for the community in which this research was conducted, portions of the proceedings will be allocated to the community leaders.
