A first for the Lowveld

The seven-act production starts with the announcement of the message of God’s spiritual light coming to earth.

NELSPRUIT – Elana Dance Studio presents a one-night show by C’mist at NG Kerk White River, a first for the Lowveld.

This South African based dance group has performed internationally and praises the Lord through dancing.

Classical ballet sequences, danced to lyrical music, blend with the pulsating rhythms of Spanish and modern dance in a spectacular audio-visual presentation of the word of God. The spoken text is based on extracts from the full Gospel.

The seven-act production starts with the announcement of the message of God’s spiritual light coming to earth.

It moves through the childhood days of Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount, to reach a crescendo with the crucifixion and resurrection in the fourth act.

The remaining three acts reveal the full glory of the teachings of the Gospel. Not only is God’s grace portrayed, but also his retribution. The production culminates in the second coming of Christ.

Guided by the Holy Spirit, C’mist have made it their mission to bring a vibrant rendition of the Gospel to all people yearning for God’s compassion. A support network of evangelical workers have been integrated with the group to attend to the spiritual needs and calls of people touched by the dancers’ moving on-stage ministry.

Audiences include convicted prisoners, alcohol and drug abusers, sex workers, unmarried mothers and orphans. The sick, the elderly and the disabled too find it a moving experience.

The performance reaches a crescendo with the crucifixion and the resurrection of Christ and the warning not to be “luke-warm” and the celebration and joy of the New Jerusalem.

C’mist is a non-profitable organisation which depends on the financial goodwill of patrons to continue its exceptional dance mission.

Tickets cost R50 per adult and R20 per child. They will be available at the door.
