FOUR STARS
‘A frenetic mix of concert, dance party and crash course in the career of the eponymous maverick.’ The Independent
Broadcast live on 13 January 2011 a provocative and wholly unique hybrid of dance, theatre and music, FELA! explores the world of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
Winner of three 2010 Tony Awards including Best Choreography (Bill T. Jones)
Using his pioneering music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), FELA! reveals Kuti’s controversial life as an artist and political activist.
I hope you made it to see the performance. I see I have missed it, but thank you for the reminder that we can do a lot of "world travelling" by just heading to a movie theatre in our area.
ReplyDeleteDavid and I went shopping last night for new snowpants, another touque, another set of gloves, and a winter jacket with a zipper that doesn't get stuck. He came back in from the snow this morning very warm, but needing to come in because his hands were "slobby". I think that means he was working hard enough to sweat into his gloves. I asked him what slobby meant. He said, "Feel my hands. They are too soft."
We have learned from sledding playdates with other more snow-experienced 5 year olds that it is imperative to bring 2-3 sets of gloves to the hill because they tend to be the main item that gets wet from the outside or "slobby" from the inside.
