Production details

Sankofa Sankofa, a story of a phoenix like bird from the Ashanti nation of west Africa which retraces its flight path to retrieve any and all feathers it has shed before continuing its journey. Ten vibrant dances from across the African continent embrace drums, kora, flute, bells and xylophone to acknowledge the important things of the past millennium, and to give testimony to the diversity of Africa.

Reviews

Overall: 4.00
The Times (11Jan01): The audience whooped and hollered, stood up or sang along. In Sankofa [Adzido] s dancers and musicians present theatricalised versions of ancestral and folk dances from eight different countries. The performers sink their teeth into this show – literally in the case of the fellow who keeps playing the gourd-based xylophone he s picked up with his pearlies. 4
