In Dag Papa, Senegalese choreographer, dancer, painter and father Alioune Diagne investigates the male line in his family. What will change and what remains the same when you become a father? As a father, what do you pass on to your sons and what not? How heavy do previous generations weigh on the choices you make for the future generation? Are you gradually becoming more and more like your father, or not? Dag Papa is a moving solo performance in which Alioune interweaves dance, text and painting – just like his grandfather, who was a weaver.
