A VIBRANT large-scale original musical theatre production, Dance Africa Dance, will showcase creative talent from throughout Africa at the Playhouse Drama early in June ahead of travelling to Russia as part of the African support team for Cameroon during the Confederation Cup.
Creative live-wire, Sifiso Mthethwa and his Vision Faces team have conceived a 100 per cent original production which talks to the continent of Africa’s inherent love of soccer, dance and music as a unifier, and common thread among strangers.
He has cast a multi-national collaborative company of dancers and musicians from KZN, Cameroon, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda and Ghana.
The production uses English as its central language, while incorporating Mother-tongue influences and themes from participating nations.
“We believe Dance Africa Dance will give Africa and the world the other picture of South Africa that our people and our government does not support Xenophobia and this will show the world we are trying to unite Africa using sports and culture,” said Mthethwa.
Dance Africa Dance has been championed by COSUA, a pan-African organisation that mobilises support for African teams in international football tournaments.
The production aims to symbolically represent African support from all African countries to encourage African Champions Cameroon during Confederation Cup in Russia in June 2017.
Dance Africa Dance will premiere at the Playhouse Drama from 7 to 11 June.
