Dance Consortium - The Sacrifice

Dance Consortium

Work:: Dance Consortium (S1616721697)


Production:: The Sacrifice (T973319733)

Ritual, atonement and redemption in an astonishing dance work inspired by The Rite of Spring. For The Sacrifice, Masilo combines the European heritage of The Rite of Spring with the uniquely rhythmic and expressive movements of Tswana, the traditional dance of Botswana, often used in storytelling and in healing ceremonies. At its heart is the epic struggle of the sacrificial victim, danced by Masilo herself. The Sacrifice questions the evil that humans do to themselves and asks what we have to do to change.
