Shadows/Push Pull
A ditpych on the theme of immigration in two sections.
Shadows
Based on the previous piece Baobab Shadows this piece delves further into the reasons why young Africans elect increasingly to emigrate.
Storyteller: Manibi KoneWith, circus artists: Nadège Liénard, Enrico Astegiano, with dancers from the DTZ/DFC
