The show's
Viennese-born creator
André Heller and his team scoured the length and breadth of Africa for two years looking for the best
dancers,
musicians, variety performers and circus acts they could find.They ended up with more than 100
artists from 17 African nations and have put them together in a show that leaves one feeling both breathless and elated.
That definately be quite a show, im proud of the diversity and rich culture that Africa contains.....a must see event!
