Spirit of Uganda’s performers, aged 8 to 18, share the music and dance of their lush and diverse East African homeland, while serving as ambassadors for Uganda’s 2.4 million orphans. The children personify the resilience and promise of Africa’s next generation as they promote awareness of Uganda’s dual crises of AIDS and civil war. Spirit of Uganda, with Artistic Director Peter Kasule as master of ceremonies, celebrates cultural roots and contemporary creations with standing drums, dramatic choreography, layered rhythms, and call-and-response vocals. “Whatever these performers do, in whatever different bright attire, they do with discipline, fervor, and joy,” writes a Village Voice reviewer. “The pounding feet and agile bodies, the drums and vibrant human voices all send a message — one of courage and hope.”
Audio description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge to ticket holders.
