Zora Snake

Coming from the Bamiléké people, from the street and urban/hip-hop dance, Zora Snake is a choreographer-performer and dancer, founder of the Zora Snake Company and the international festival Mouvements, Danses et Performances (Mopaderf) in Cameroon. His transgressive aesthetic aims to leave a mark. Inspired by the myth of sacred animals in the Bamiléké tradition, he snakes through the world to express « the political » or to « dance to box the situation, fight, and move minds. »

After training at the Ecole des Sables in Senegal in 2014-15, he was awarded the Visa-Création in 2016-17 by the French Institute in Paris. In 2020, he won the Golden Artistic Awards from Brukmer magazines in Brussels, Belgium, after winning the first prize Acogny d’or in 2019 of the choreographic competition Africa simply the Best in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso. His priorities include developing and building a civil society through performances engaged in the streets, intersections, and neighborhoods of Cameroon.
