Full of wit, music, and a rollicking cast of characters, The Villain's Dance
shows Fiston Mwanza Mujila is back with a bang.
Zaire. Late 90's. Mobutu's thirty-year reign is tottering. In Lubumbashi, the
stubbornly homeless Sanza has fallen in with a trio of veteran street kids led
by the devious Ngungi. A chance encounter with the mysterious Monsieur Guillaume
seems to offer a way out . . . Meanwhile in Angola, Molakisi has joined
thousands of fellow Zairians hoping to make their fortunes hunting diamonds,
while Austrian Franz finds himself roped into writing the memoirs of the
charismatic Tshiamuena, the "Madonna of the Cafunfo Mines." Things are drawing
to a head, but at the Mambo de la Fête, they still dance the Villain's Dance
from dusk till dawn.
