Description The most original aspect of this dance company lies not only in its weaving together of the many characters from the legends and folklores of Senegal but also in its fusion of the rhythms and dances of different ethnic origins. The programme promises to be vibrant with rhythm, colour and movement. Lavish and yet precise, spontaneous and yet disciplined, drawing upon ritual gestures that derives from ancient symbols, the dances reflect the fervour and pride of a civilisation.
