Samba Jean-Baptiste + “Nacre” by Samara Langham
Institute of Contemporary Arts, SW1Y 5AH , [Venue Details]A double bill with songwriter and composer Samba Jean-Baptiste, and a performance of choreographer Samara Langham’s most recent piece, “Nacre”.
Samba Jean-Baptiste is a songwriter and composer whose music bridges a classical cello background with electronic production.
Samara Langham is a dancer, choreographer, and artist based in London. Her quality is mothlike: she is drawn to things behavioural and liminal. Working with improvisation, choreography, symbolism, and experimental music, she approaches performance as a process of dissolving.
Nacre
A live dance work by Samara Langham, newly commissioned by The Place through Choreodrome in 2026.
Four figures move between polar forces. As they endure cycles of effort, they feel the edges and what may exist beyond them. A dark mass moves quietly. Eyes become stars as mouths, ears, tears, and fingers are bound together.
The word ‘nacre’ describes the iridescent substance of a pearl. When a parasite enters an oyster shell, the oyster produces nacre and engulfs it. This becomes a pearl, nestled inside its own body. The pearl remains forever unknown to its maker. Lying shut on the seafloor, it never sees light.
