"Acogny and Yamazaki did what seems impossible. They shined light on
one of the most horrific crimes of the late twentieth
centuryhellipand created beauty out of it."-Rita Feliciano, Dance
Magazine

Senegal's preeminent contemporary dance company in a profoundly
transformative work by Germaine Acogny-the "Mother of contemporary
African dance." Based on a novel about the Rwandan genocide, FAGAALA
is riveting dance theater-intensely passionate, hopeful and even
humorous-that asks what in our shared humanity made such madness
possible. Reserve your tickets today for a performance of stunning
artistry and rare importance.
