New York (and on tour), USA, September 2009 - March 2010.


Lions will roar, swans will fly, angels will wrestle heaven, rains will break: gukurahundi is a dance performance, but also an imaginary journey through the history of Zimbabwe.
The visuals you can see here (originally projected on stage) are some excerpts from different parts of the show.
From figurative cities to visual metaphors - in the show, birds are a harbinger of (dark) things to come - this work is the result of a close collaboration with Nora Chipaumire, the choreographer.
