THE BLACK BLUES BROTHERS (KENYA - ITALY)

Saturday 11thJune, 2016

Black and blue are not just colours. Brother and friend are not just words it is a way of behaving among boys and men. A show in an American style filled with power and masculinity, done by five acrobats with African blood flowing through their veins. Their vintage radio plays the Rhythm and Blues style songs. You will see incredible human pyramids, aerial and ground acrobatics. Dancers with fire who will make you sweat! Electrifying and dynamic performance is inspired by an iconic American musical from the 80s.

The five Kenyan artists with constant energy levels are Nelson Opuka, John Odhiambo, Daniel Njehia Jeya, Edwin Mang´ate and Kevin Oduor Odera.
