Redefining dance of the African diaspora with a contemporary outlook, this bold new double bill presents two powerful, contrasting visions of our world today, told through exhilarating and emotive physicality.

In Echoes of Dust, Serge Aimé Coulibaly and collaborator Sigué Sayouba conjure a world in crisis. Seven individuals, cast adrift in the aftermath of war, disaster and fractured human connection, must navigate chaos to rediscover hope and reclaim their voices.

By contrast, Vincent Mantsoe’s Letlalo – meaning ‘Skin’ in his native Sotho – draws on African, indigenous and contemporary movement languages to explore humanity’s deep and enduring bond with the earth.

This performance will be followed by a Q&A.

A male Southeast Asian wheelchair dancer is in a gravity defying head stand in the middle of the image. He is balanced upside down on the side of his head, his position supported by his right hand on the floor. His left arm is stretched out towards the camera, palm open, tattoo on his arm vaguely visible. He is gazing intently at his open palm. The wheelchair is tipped slightly away from the camera, wheels suspended in mid air. He is wearing golden coloured costumes gleaming in amber light, which is coming from behind him, cutting through haze and the dark background. Photography by Chris Parkes
