Akropolis I

Kennedy Muntanga Dance Theatre • Professional company

60 minutes•DB 1
National Dance Awards nominee 2025 Kennedy Junior Muntanga premieres a raw, shape-shifting solo that dives deep into fractured identities, power and survival through the lens of the African diaspora. Akropolis I introduces four bold characters – The Hare, The Lion, Eva, and The Commander – each embodying a different legacy of migration, memory and resistance. Charged, physical and cinematic, this is the first chapter of an ambitious trilogy exploring the realities of diasporic life across generations. A striking new voice in contemporary dance and storytelling, Muntanga invites you to witness, question and feel.
