Danse Umbrella

Maqoma and Mantsoe began showing their work at Dance Umbrella while still working with Moving Into Dance Mophatong. The double bill, featuring Vuyani Dance Theatre, includes:
Mayhem by Gregory Maqoma. A reflection on our altered state of mind, our country in confusion, the madness, the feeling of being in suspense in the confined space of words and chaos where we are left with a body of work that strips away the beauty and gives us a mirror to interrogate ourselves, our actions, our responses.
Gula Matari by Vincent Mantsoe, who currently lives and works in France. This piece was originally created when he was a member of the Moving into Dance Mophatong Company). In Gula Matari, the dancers become birds that whistle and use their heads to communicate with other birds.
