Les Ballets Africains brings Africa’s rich tradition of music and dance to the Center for the Arts. Founded in 1952 to serve as cultural ambassador for the Republic of Guinea, the company has toured the world—including a run on Broadway—and become known for “dazzling, high-speed footwork” (Los Angeles Times) as well as “sheer physical energy and beauty” (The New York Times). Now for the first time in its history, the ensemble presents a program featuring works by its first-ever female artistic director, Mañana Cisse. Through extraordinary demonstrations of Guinean instruments, acrobatics, and colorful costumes, Les Ballets Africains thrills audiences, combining “high-gloss finish” and “spontaneous excitement” (The Independent).
This performance is appropriate for all ages.
This performance will be audio-described.
