Ace Dance Double Bill: TWAWSI

The World As We See It

Human life is fleeting, the world is still unfolding…

Redefining dance from the African Diaspora, ACE dance and music’s new double bill TWASI: The Way That We See It presents two powerful contrasting visions of our world today.

A masterpiece of emotional and spiritual exploration”
VoiceMag on Unknown Realms
Echoes in Dust
Choreographed by Serge Aimé Coulibaly, with creative contributions by Sigué Sayouba

When the world trembles, what remains of our humanity?

When all seems lost, what hope can we still hold on to?

In a world torn apart by war, disaster and the invisible collapse of human connection; seven individuals find themselves stranded in the heart of chaos. Confronting the remnants of a shattered world, stripped of certainty and memory they stumble, fight, and protest; with each encounter, a voice is reclaimed.

 

Letlalo
Choreographed by Vincent Mantsoe

Letlalo meaning “Skin” in Mantsoe’s native tongue Sotho, draws from African, Indigenous, and contemporary dance languages to explore the deep connection between humanity and the earth.

Rooted in ancestral wisdom and inspired by nomadic cultures, the performance reflects on the quiet strength of communities living in harmony. It examines the layers beneath the surface, exploring the true essence of the human spirit, while evoking themes of power, unity, serenity, and interconnectedness.
