Birds of Paradise: Live Musical Experience Ariane Barnes & Friends.

***Birds of Paradise: A Live Musical Experience with Ariane Barnes & Friends.***

Tropical AND AFRICAN. Are you looking for trouble? How can one person contain so much? How can a shared lived history reveal so little about the character of its women? And what if you could change that?

Join Award-winning, Multi-disciplinary Artist, Musician and Choreographer Ariane Barnes & her friends for an unforgettable immersive *improvised* musical experience rooted in epic poetry, traditional Mauritian percussion, song, dance and humour.

Expect a vivid exploration of the personal & political stories of island women though rich sounds and vibrant vocals. And be prepared to get involved from the moment you walk in to the second you leave...

With special guest: Koroleko Moussa on percussion.
