Maloya Moshpit
OTÉ! HEY!
Whether you’re a cultural adventurer or dance floor devotee Maloya Moshpit welcomes you to a special mash up of Maloya with house music and dance, street procession and flash gatherings. It’s a 300-year-old performance tradition drawing from Malagasy, African and Tamil cultures, originating from Réunion Island in the Indian Ocean. Join Australia’s Maloya expert, Muriel Hillion Toulcanon as she leads talented Creole musicians, dancers and singers, tracing a line from slavery, oppression, and censorship, to resilience and recovery.
Maloya Moshpit is created and produced by Punctum, an award-winning live arts organisation based in Castlemaine.
