AFRIKA! AFRIKA!


From Wednesday 23rd July until Saturday 6th September 2008 The Trafford Centre will be pumping out a synthesis of African athletic and living art, like a heart that has found it's rhythm.
Over a 100 artists, dancers, singers and musicians will be demonstrating their unique and special talents.
These artists were discovered across 17 different African nations, speaking 23 different dialects from a multitude of different religious backgrounds, so this shows just what creative combination AFRIKA! AFRIKA! has assembled.

Promising to deliver an African journey through the human arts, it is an event that many will be looking forward to.
Bringing together life-affirming exuberance, this is as much an expression of the continent's vitality at odds, and in defiance of, the political machinations which pigment much of our Western impressions of the Third World.

AFRIKA! AFRIKA! will feature a unique and extraordinary combination of dance and acrobatics, high wire artists from Tanzania - not to mention master contortionists, hip-hop break dancers and an exhilirating Gumboot dance. Audiences' breathes will be caught in their throats.

Times of performances are as follows - No performances on Mondays, Tuesdays - 8pm, Wednesdays - 3pm & 8pm, Thursdays 3pm & 8pm, Fridays - 8pm, Saturdays - 3pm & 8pm, Sundays - 1pm & 5.30pm.
