Amajuba - Like Doves We Rise

The current show at 45 Bleecker, Culture Project is a show featuring tales of South Africa, called Amajuba, Like Doves We Rise. All of the performers are originally from South Africa and that is where the show was actually born. It passed through the Edinburgh Festival and now is here in New York.

The five performers on stage are really very powerful and absolutely passionate. Each tells a personal story intertwined with South African song and dance. They give so much energy during the performance that you can tell it's a huge workout for each show. I personally had wished to learn a bit more about each of the actors - the stories have not stuck with me that well. But perhaps that's not what they were going for. The show really made me examine how lucky I am to have been born here in the US and how privaleged I am.
