TALES AND DANCES AROUND THE BAOBAB:
Sunsum Dua, The Spirit in the tree Director and dramaturge - Erika Batdorf Writer and performer - Lua Shayenne TALES & DANCES AROUND THE BAOBAB invites you to come visit the brave Sunsum Dua and his faithful companions Buteadé, the Scorpion; Anpu, the Jackal and Sistrum, the Snake. Join this odd band of travelers as they set off to bring back the rain to the barren land. The Baobab tree otherwise known as the “Tree of Life” is steeped in a wealth of mystique and legend in Africa. In many villages of Africa, folks gather under the « arbre à palabres », a big tree - usually a baobab -where they sit and listen to stories. This tale includes call and response, song, dance, live drumming and encourages YOU to fully experience this fantastic journey. |
