OYO Dance Troupe Tell Tales On Stage

Choreographed and directed by Phillipe Talavera Maria the event did not attract a large audience. It followed the story of a young pupil who is forced to leave school to get married. The sections are inspired by a workshop the troupe had with renowned Botswana dancer, Duncan Sebopelo.

The first tale, Thiasus is a modern tale; inspired by the mythical figure of Dionysus and his followers, travelling in processions called Thiasus and recruiting newcomers to join in their celebrations.
