SAMBA & TEARS
SAMBA AND TEARS is a dance production that explores our consumption of media-packaged current affairs. As news items relentlessly seek our attention, we learn to succumb to never-ending floods of processed information. SAMBA AND TEARS broadcasts the news as never seen or heard before, through dance, music and performance arts.
“Powerful, Engaging and Bold.” (Head of Arts and Culture, JW3)
