An emotional, spiritual, scary and raw dance voyage into modern Africa through the eyes of Zimbabwean-born choreographer/composer Bawren Tavaziva and his company of five contemporary dancers. Tavaziva Dance’s new production, features four short works in different moods, from guest choreographer Harriet Macauley’s austerely beautiful Silent Steps to the gently uplifting Kenyan Athlete, and two startling new works by Bawren. Sinful Intimacies is a sensual duet exploring African unease with same-sex love, while a major new work My Friend Robert draws on Bawren’s personal experiences to ask how an inspirational African leader, adored by his people, can descend into horror: corruption, violence, disease and economic meltdown? Suitable for age 12+ Tavaziva Dance Company - Heart of Darkness: Silent Steps/Kenyan Athlete/Sinful Intimacies/My Friend Robert website.
