Welcome To My Jungle Ndoho Ange

Welcome to My Jungle is a contemporary ritual in which body, sound and space combine to create an immersive experience. At the centre of a circular stage, surrounded by a sound system enveloping both audience and performers, repetition becomes a transformative practice: a repetitive movement set to jungle music becomes the gateway to a trance state, awakening a deep-seated bodily memory. The performance takes on the shape of an inner struggle, like a boxing ring where the conflict is invisible but constant. The body grapples with opposing forces – control and surrender, resistance and yielding – in a tension that permeates gestures, rhythm and voice. Through remixes, loops and variations of Dawn Penn’s track “No, No, No”, sound becomes living matter that acts on the body and guides its transformations. Combining rituality and club culture, Ndoho Ange’s work builds a space where identity, memory and present are constantly being redefined.

Ndoho Ange, is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is rooted in movement. Trained in hip-hop dance in the early 2000s, she soon developed an interest in trance dances, exploring both the Dunham technique and Léna Blou’s TECHNI’KA. Her practice intertwines dance, visual arts, photography, and music, creating a hybrid and polyphonic artistic language in which each medium deepens her poetic and introspective universe. Inspired by traditional Caribbean dances such as gwo-ka (Guadeloupe), Ndoho Ange reimagines rituals through a contemporary lens, integrating elements of spirituality and trance. Her creations, including Random Believer and Who’s Fear Death, merge dance, digital music, and visual art to question notions of death, rebirth, and identity. Through her performances, she transforms the stage into a sacred space, inviting the audience into a sensory and introspective experience. In parallel, her photographic work initiated in 2010 explores the polymorphic representation of bodies. Her self-portraits blur the boundaries between photography and painting, creating corporeal landscapes where textures and forms reveal a shifting and unsettling aesthetic. This approach has led her to projects such as Digital Choreography, selected for the Photometria Festival in Greece, and Kat Chimen, presented at the Creative Code Art Festival in New York. In 2022, Ndoho Ange joined the jazz ensemble Turiya: Honoring Alice Coltrane, created by drummer Hamid Drake. The collaboration, marked by poetic intensity, was presented at several European festivals, including Sons d’Hiver, Banlieues Bleues, Torino Jazz Festival, and Bergamo Jazz Festival. Since October 2025, Ndoho Ange has been an artist-in-residence at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris.
