Broken Chord at DanceHouse

DanceHouse and Vancouver New Music present the Canadian premiere of choreographer and performer Gregory Maqoma and Musical Director Thuthuka Sibisi’s Broken Chord, February 23 to 25, 2023 at the Vancouver Playhouse. Four vocal soloists, 16-members of the Vancouver Chamber Choir, and Maqoma himself share the stage in a musical and movement-filled exploration of the life and legacy of The African Native Choir. A South African ensemble that toured the globe in the late 1800s, their history is brought to life through rhythmic, high-energy contemporary dance intertwined with song, sound, and storytelling. The impassioned work provides important critique and commentary on contemporary issues of borders, migration, and the lasting relationship between colonized and colonizer.
