How a Falling Star Lit Up The Purple Sky

Deserted and sun-drenched towns, tumbleweed rolling in the wind, suspenseful armed duels. The stereotypes of the western genre are overturned to write new stories in which nature, instead of mankind, dominates the scene.

Through the pantsula, a virtuosic dance form that originated in the black South African suburbs during the apartheid regime, the cowboy hero gets rid of racial supremacy and the spirit of conquest of unknown lands to become instead a self-conscious guardian of their own future.

Jeremy Nedd (an internationally acclaimed choreographer and performer) and Impilo Mapantsula (a global network specialising in this dance charged with energy and spontaneity) stage, for the first time in Italy, a visual poem of rebellious bodies and moving hope. Through the pantsula, a virtuosic dance form that originated in the black South African suburbs during the apartheid regime, the cowboy hero gets rid of racial supremacy and the spirit of conquest of unknown lands to become instead a self-conscious guardian of their own future.

The performance is being held on Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th at 7:30pm.
