Deeply Rooted Dance Theater INDUMBA Preview

Originally created 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. 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.” Said DRDT Co-founder and Artistic Director Kevin Iega Jeff, “INDUMBA forges an expanded aesthetic direction for the company. We welcome all who wish to come prepared to witness work that is newly found.”

INDUMBA premiered in December 2017 as part DRDT’s 20th anniversary finale performances, “Deeply Free,” at Chicago’s Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts.

Following the April 29 performance, independent arts consultant Baraka Sele will lead a discussion with Jeff, company artists and members of the audience. Sele has more than 30 years’ experience as a performing arts curator, consultant and producer.
