The performance takes place in the Matonge area of Brussels, a focal point for the country\u0026rsquo;s large Congolese expatriate community.

Only she is moving forward; everyone else \u0026ndash; everything else \u0026ndash; is moving backward. In the postcard, we see her covering her face with a black scarf.
