"Return of the Dead" is a compelling dance piece that delves into the complexities of traditional African perspectives on what unfolds after death. Through movement and storytelling, the choreography brings to life the layered beliefs held across communities: for some, the spirits of the departed return to offer guidance and protection to their families, while for others, the return of the dead may bring disruption or mischief. This work invites audiences to reflect on the mysteries of the afterlife, highlighting both the hope and uncertainty that surround the journey beyond.
