DanceWorks presents Vincent Sekwati Mantsoe in NTU and Skwatta at Harbourfront Centre Theatre

DanceWorks, Toronto’s longest running contemporary dance series, proudly presents the return of award-winning South African dance artist Vincent Mantsoe, a “magnetic soloist” (The Guardian), last seen in Toronto a decade ago when his 2005 DanceWorks presentation left audiences in awe. An incomparable artist, Vincent Mantsoe’s unique Afro-fusion language and approach to dancemaking have captivated audiences around the world, mixing traditional African dance with contemporary Western street styles and martial arts to create exhilarating performances. The program is comprised of two riveting solos - NTU and Skwatta - choreographed and performed by Mantsoe, both embodying the limitless spirituality and realities of his South African homeland, brought to life through his forceful, sinewy and tense performance.
