"A Dance Steals the Show at an Opera Festival" -New York Times

Set in a graveyard filled with the persistent cries of visitors in mourning and the poignant music of Isicathamiya singers (an a cappella singing style originating from the Zulus), Cion: Requiem of Ravel's Bolero vividly elicits emotions associated with the loss of life. Physically charged and visually striking, the work is choreographed by South African native and internationally-known choreographer Gregory Vuyani Maqoma. Cion draws inspiration from author Zakes Mda's novel, Cion , and Ravel's Bolero. It is, in Maqoma's words, "a lament, a requiem required to awaken a part of us, the connection to the departed souls."
