Event Details:

The approximate run time of the event is 60 minutes with no intermission. The performance will be followed by a post show conversation.

Step into the mesmerizing glow of the jacaranda forest, where two continents collide in a breathtaking explosion of rhythm and dance. Maharu, a powerful play written by Kasano Mwanza and reimagined as a vibrant contemporary dance adaptation, is a journey into the heart of Afro-Brazilian and Zambian folklore. When a sacred ritual fractures and a shadow falls over a family, the edge of the forest becomes a volatile frontier.

Can the spirits be held at bay, or will the legendary Curupira claim what lies within the trees? Through the visionary choreography of Marciano Silva dos Santos and Kasano Mwanza, this production weaves original music and ancestral storytelling into a vivid, coming-of-age masterpiece. Join us for this stunning collaboration that brings two worlds together through the pulse of the drum and the spirit of the woods.
