Double bill of dance from the African Diaspora by ACE Dance and Music, with 'Echoes of Dust' and 'Letlalo', part of the HOME season.
ACE Dance and Music bring a double bill of dance from the African Diaspora to the Warwick Arts Centre on Tuesday 17 November, part of their HOME season. The evening puts two contrasting visions of today's world side by side, with each piece coming from a different choreographer.
First is Echoes of Dust, choreographed by Serge Aimé Coulibaly with creative contributions from Sigué Sayouba. It follows seven people stranded in the heart of chaos, stripped of certainty and memory, as they stumble, fight and protest until a voice is reclaimed. It's the kind of piece that starts in a place of loss and works its way back to something like a voice.
Then comes Letlalo — 'Skin' in choreographer Vincent Mantsoe's native Sotho. It draws on African, Indigenous and contemporary dance languages, rooted in ancestral wisdom and inspired by nomadic cultures, to look at the deep connection between humanity and the earth. Where Echoes of Dust feels like a struggle through chaos, Letlalo pulls from older, grounded ways of moving.

Both are part of HOME, a season of work exploring the idea of home, and One World Warwick, a celebration of the University of Warwick's global community. The double bill runs for an hour and 15 minutes, including an interval, and takes place in the Warwick Arts Centre's theatre, which has been bringing stage work to life since it opened in 1974.
Tickets are £23 (£21) / £20 (£18), with under-26s at £15, students at £11, and schools at £15 per pupil. It starts at 7.30pm on Tuesday 17 November.
