‘The Spirit of Afrika’ is an exciting and innovative new
musical that captures the true diversity of the continent.
An array of
UK- based African dance performance groups, including Kenyan, Senegal, Ivory
coast, Zimbabwean, Guinea, Ethiopian, Mali, Ghanaian, Ugandan, Nigerian and
South African Zulu dance troupes, have joined forces for a one of a kind
production, which is set to captivate audiences up and down the country.
Using the
themes of community and crisis, the performance will showcase the best of
African culture. The enthralling epic storyline sees East meet West and South collides with North, as all of Africa prays for rain after
the villagers of Bamba commit atrocities and the Gods punish them by bringing
drought to the entire African regions. Instead of acknowledging their mistakes
and seeking forgiveness they get an evil, wicked seer, to lie that the sacrifice
should be the virgin girl called Amani, because she is different.
This unique
show is put together by Artistic Director/Choreographer Uche Micheal , Directed
under the guidance of Kathy Gregory and expertly produced by the Masai Cultural
Arts whose experience includes performing at the BBC one show.
Powerful
singing, dancing and drumming create a truly spectacular musical experience. As
the latest in a long line of high-quality African productions, audiences are
sure to take ‘The spirit of Afrika’
straight to their hearts.
