Last night I took my daughter to the
My Dream Charity Show put on by the
China Disabled Peoples' Performing Art Troupe at the National Theatre. On a school night? I know, but the show was in Accra for two nights only and the international reviews it'd received were really good.
Moving, synchronized dances, and all the more powerful when you consider the timing that has to go into the movements given that the dancers do not hear the music - although they were being cued through sign language. The 'Thousand hand
Bodhissatva' dance was absolutely amazing and the 'Butterfly lover' dance equally captivating. Then there was the Jazz performance, the Latin dancing... I could go on forever. It was a truly fantastic show!
The China-Ghana Cultural Exchange Program brought this brilliant show to Accra and proceeds from this charity event are to benefit a number of organisations for the visually impaired, hearing impaired and physically disabled in Ghana.
