Solihull Arts Complex

Experience the vibrant fusion of cultures in UBUNTU, a spellbinding performance where India and South Africa unite through rhythm and movement.

This high-energy production by the award-winning Tribhangi Dance Theatre promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic storytelling and stunning choreography.

Hailing from Johannesburg, Tribhangi Dance Theatre masterfully blends the strength and vitality of African dance with the grace and precision of classical Indian Bharatanatyam, seamlessly interweaving elements of Afro-fusion and contemporary styles.

The result is a visually spectacular and emotionally powerful performance that celebrates humanity, connection, and cultural exchange.

UBUNTU isn't just a show — it's an experience. Audiences will be swept away by the infectious energy, striking visuals, and the joyful dialogue between two rich cultural traditions.

Perfect for school groups, families, and lovers of global dance, the performance offers both entertainment and insight, leaving a lasting impression of the power of collaboration and shared storytelling through dance.

'It is not quite African, not quite Indian, it's intriguingly bi-cultural ...these are talking feet, talking drums, talking souls. Beautiful South African bodies steeped in different cultural heritages and rhythms converge.' - Adrienne Sichel, Dance Critic

'One of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Anywhere. At any time.'

'There'll never be another performance quite like the one ecstatic Devonshire mums, dads, staff, pupils, a few dance aficionados and a smiling dance critic experienced on Thursday night.' - Review by Sid Langley, Birmingham Post

Some audience comments: 'The best show I've ever seen!' '...Amazed to see the unexpected interplay between two very distinct cultures brought together with such artistry.'
