DOUBLE BILL: TWAWSI – THE WORLD AS WE SEE IT…
Human life is fleeting, the world is still unfolding…
Redefining dance from the African Diaspora, ACE dance and music’s new double bill presents two powerful contrasting visions of our world today.
‘ECHOES OF DUST’ – choreographed by Serge Aimé Coulibaly, with creative contributions Sigué Sayouba
When the world trembles, what remains of our humanity?
When all seems lost, what hope can we still hold on to?
In a world torn apart by war, disaster and the invisible collapse of human connection; seven individuals find themselves stranded in the heart of chaos. Confronting the remnants of a shattered world, stripped of certainty and memory they stumble, fight, and protest; with each encounter, a voice is reclaimed.
‘LETLALO’ – choreographed by Vincent Mantsoe
Letlalo, meaning “Skin” in Mantsoe’s native tongue ‘Sotho’, draws from African, Indigenous, and contemporary dance languages to explore the deep connection between humanity and the earth.
Rooted in ancestral wisdom and inspired by nomadic cultures, the performance reflects on the quiet strength of communities living in harmony. It examines the layers beneath the surface, exploring the true essence of the human spirit, while evoking themes of power, unity, serenity, and interconnectedness.
