Heart of Darkness

Autumn  Tour 2009

Take an emotional, spiritual, scary and raw dance voyage into modern Africa through the eyes of Zimbabwean-bornchoreographer/composer Bawren Tavaziva and his company of five stunning dancers.

Tavaziva Dance's critically acclaimed production Heart of Darkness features three works in different moods: the uplifting, high energy, fast-paced Kenyan Athlete, which explores the beauty and physicality of Kenyan people and their surroundings,  Sinful Intimacies a sensual duet dealing with African unease with same-sex love, and the company's major work My Friend Robert draws on Bawren's personal experiences to ask how an inspirational African leader, adored by his people, can descend into horror: corruption, violence, disease and economic meltdown?
