The highly acclaimed Afrika! Afrika! is currently wowing audiences at Manchester’s Trafford Centre. Following the show’s rave reviews, we are offering 3 lucky WOS Manchester visitors the chance to see this unique piece of theatre for free!
Featuring impressive visuals, and over 100 artists from african nations, Afrika! Afrika! show promises to be a real Summer treat.
THE SHOW:
André Heller‘s sensual discovery of Africa fascinates the audience with its tempo, energy and the zest of life that is oozing out of the tent. The troupe travelled through Africa for two years between Mali and Morocco, and Egypt and South Africa, to all the coasts and the heart of the continent. They even searched the African diaspora for more than 100 artists, eccentrics, dancers, singers and musicians who had that special something.This circus theatre offers sensous pleasure to children and adults, workers and intellectuals. Unbelievable acrobatics, intoxicating rhythms and costumes of exceptional beauty will entrance you for more than two hours.
The pole artists from the troupe “Hakuna Matata”, (Swahili for no worries here) will have you holding your breath as they elegantly swing back and forth on poles, nearly touching the top of the tent, while other dancers build a dizzingly high human pyramid. Body eccentrics bend and curve into proud snake-like formations: Feet become hands and hands become feet in a rare spectacle known only to the African tradition of cult-like mastery of bodily movements.
