INDUMBA

Dominique Atwood and Joshua Ishman in Deeply Rooted Dance Theater' INDUMBA Ken Carl

Originally creating INDUMBA to illuminate the perpetual impact of unresolved apartheid politics in his native South Africa, Fana Tshabalala, artistic director of Broken Borders Arts Project, spent three weeks in residence with DRDT in July 2017 to adapt INDUMBA for an American audience. “Indumba” means African healing hut, promising a work of stirring resilience and reconciliation. Tshabalala noted, “As an artist, I am fascinated by how social politics affect human interaction and spirituality. …I created INDUMBA to provide individuals and communities with opportunities for this important spiritual cleansing through dance.” Following the April 29 performance, independent arts consultant Baraka Sele will lead a discussion with Deeply Rooted Co-founder and Artistic Director Kevin Iega Jeff, company artists and members of the audience.
