Qudus Onikeku: The QDance Company
Making its UK premiere, QDance Company’s exuberant Re:INCARNATION is an ode to the richness of Nigerian culture.
A dance, music, fashion and visual art creation that showcases the depth of ancient Yoruba philosophy, mixed with Nigerian youth culture and its pure and uncompromising joy. Ten young dancers and two musicians perform the cycle of life with explosive energy, marked by the urban chaos of the Nigerian city of Lagos.
An ode to the expressive richness of Nigerian culture, paying homage to the wealth and profusion of Nigerian music, the show draws on Afrobeats, born of an explosive cocktail of jazz, soul, funk, and traditional African music. In this mix of urban cultures, a reincarnation of the personal journeys of each of the dancers comes to the fore, marked by their individual signatures.
