About Africa Power
Africa Power: The Colour of Water is a South African show that brings the energy of a street party onto the stage with stunning physicality. The performance blends music, dance and acrobatics, linked by the theme of water — a matter of survival at the heart of African life. A young hero leads the audience on a quest to revive his drought-stricken home, touching on the soul of his community along the way. Presented at Music Hall, the show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for all ages from 5 upwards.
Why see this show?
A genuinely all-ages spectacle full of joy and physical skill. The water theme gives the acrobatics and music a narrative weight that lifts this well beyond a simple variety show — mesmerising for children and adults alike.
