About: Robyn Orlin/Moving Into Dance Mophatong

Celebrate the beauty of 21st-century Africa with this vibrant and entertaining spectacle featuring dance, text, film and props.

This hilarious show encapsulates African culture’s inventiveness: the eye-popping costumes, made from recycled materials such as laundry bags and sweet wrappers, are inspired by the customs of the Surma and Mursi tribes, who adorn themselves with body paints, plants and animals.

Expect some haggling, gargling, chanting, an attempt to skype with divinity and many more beautiful and witty surprises.

Choreographed by Olivier Award-winner Robyn Orlin, these performances are accompanied by a special weekend of events as part of Dance Umbrella 2013. See website for more details.

This performance takes place at Stratford Circus, Theatre Square, London E15 1BX (nearest tube: Stratford)
