Serge Makanzu Kiala performs "Waiting for Godot” at Fabrica Bhering in Rio de Janeiro with sounds by Robertinho Silva.

In the tradition of performance art, refugee Congolese sculpture, Serge Makanzu Kiala now living in Brazil explains his actions as, “an unexpected voyage, I had yet to prepare; for political reasons and not”. Preformed just days prior to the opening of a refugee artists group show, "Tradução Provisória", at Fábrica Bhering, in Rio de Janeiro, on May 5th, 2016. With sounds by Brazilian percussionist and musical icon Robertinho Silva and images by visual artist Kim Badawi, this collaborative work invokes themes of migration, travel and endless transit with visual and auditory experiences from Africa to Brazil.
