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? And what does it \*really\* mean to be both ?

Join Award-winning, multi-disciplinary Artist, Musician and Choreographer Ariane Barnes & her friends as they navigate the untold stories of the Mauritian island girl narrative. This interactive, improvised experience is a vivid exploration of the personal & political stories of island women through epic poetry, percussion, song, dance and humour. Through Ariane's experiences and reflections we'll explore themes of matriarchy, resistance, belonging and the past as a bridge to the future...

'Birds of Paradise' will have you involved from the second you walk in to the moment you leave...

*With Special Guests Koroleko Moussa on percussion, Cristiano Tortoioilli on Guitar and a few other suprises...*
