The African Dream - Trailer

Presented by Scotiabank Dance Centre
Produced by yours truly
Rwandan-born Isaac Gasangwa (aka Izo Dreamchaser) founded Afrobeats Van to connect audiences to African culture and history. The African Dream follows the life of a young man growing up in the aftermath of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi people in Rwanda, and his determination to create a better world for the future. Featuring ten dynamic performers, the intricate choreography draws on African dance, hip-hop, and martial arts, blending thrilling dance with text and storytelling. This inspiring work is a tribute to Black resilience and hope and reasserts the power of art to overcome racism and oppression.
