In an astonishing exposition of choreographic fomentation, nine African choreographers from Senegal to South Africa tell the stories of an emergent art form and their diverse and deeply contemporary expressions of self. Stunning choreography and riveting critiques challenge stale stereotypes of « traditional Africa » to unveil soul-shaking responses to the beauty and tragedy of 21st century Africa.
