Set to run from April 17,18 and 19 at Maitisong, Rhythm Project is described by the director as  a visual celebration of the cycle of life. The production is a metaphor for different stages of life and  it aims to highlight the four elements that make life possible, according to Molema.

The performance group to present this offering called New Moon has been carefully handpicked by director Moratiwa. 'New Moon is a collective of awesome artists living in Botswana, including some American poets from the East Coast of the USA who have been part of the creative process via the internet,' she explains.

The intention of the whole production according to the director is to inspire gratitude to the natural world, so that we as humans can practice environmentally friendly behaviour in our homes, neighbourhoods, countires and on our precious planet.The artistic language of the Multi-Media dance musical, draws from various cultures of the world, considering that the miracle of life is global. Rhythm Project draws visual and musical inspiration from Setswana, San, Native American, African American, European and Brazilian culture.

The production is a combination of dance, live music, recorded original compositions, video and live painting to create a rich audio/visual texture.
