Audience Feedback
Human life is fleeting, the world is still unfolding…
ACE dance and Music return to BCDH with a bold new double bill at Walsall Arena this autumn.
Redefining Dance of the African Diaspora with a contemporary outlook, ACE dance and music present two powerful, contrasting visions of our world today, told through exhilarating and emotive breath-taking physicality.
‘ECHOES OF DUST’ | choreographed by Serge Aimé Coulibaly, with creative contributions Sigué Sayouba
When the world trembles, what remains of our humanity?
When all seems lost, what hope can we still hold on to?
In a world torn apart by war, disaster and the invisible collapse of human connection; seven individuals find themselves stranded in the heart of chaos. Confronting the remnants of a shattered world, stripped of certainty and memory they stumble, fight, and protest; with each encounter, a voice is reclaimed.
‘LETLALO’ | Choreographed by Vincent Mantsoe
Letlalo, meaning “Skin” in Mantsoe’s native tongue ‘Sotho’, draws from African, Indigenous, and contemporary dance languages to explore the deep connection between humanity and the earth.
Rooted in ancestral wisdom and inspired by nomadic cultures, the performance reflects on the quiet strength of communities living in harmony. It examines the layers beneath the surface, exploring the true essence of the human spirit, while evoking themes of power, unity, serenity, and interconnectedness.
Join us for this unforgettable show from one of the leading forces in contemporary African and Caribbean Dance, from right here in the West Midlands.
