Africantic by UNIVERSES theatrical performance
2019-Oct-20 @ 19:00 - 21:00
Geva will host a performance of Africantic by UNIVERSES as part of The Festival of New Theatre.
An audiovisual immersive theatrical experience by UNIVERSES, one of the nation's premiere theatre ensembles. Africantic identifies, maps, deconstructs and reconstructs the musical DNA chains that bind us. From the complexities of spiritual ancestral rhythms and chant, across the middle passage into the Americas (where African deities entangle, to this day, in a delicate and vicious dance with Catholic Saints), from work songs and field hollers all the way to today's music, Africantic explores the importance of music and the social movements that have shaped us. Africantic roots run deep.
