Mother Africa - Khayelitsha - My Home

Details

Circus Mother Africa is an experiential feast for the senses; an opportunity to be touched by the many varied and rich cultures that Africa has to offer. Without a doubt, this unforgettable experience will transport you deep into the mystery of Africa, and reveal a side of Africa that you have never been exposed to before. Two million people call the Khayelitsha (the Xhosa word for ?new home') in South Africa home. The Township is plagued by endless power cuts, but nothing can get in the way of the rhythm and energy. In Mother Africa, dozens of acrobats, dancers and musicians from seven African nations blend spectacular circus feats, shimmering costumes and jaw-dropping dance, to bring the pulse of daily life in Khayelitsha to the West End.
