'Stimela' The Gumboot Musical
Circus
• Dance Theatre
An international phenomenon that swept across the globe.
A tidal wave of soaring voices & stomping feet.
Gumboot dancing was born out of the oppressive gold mines of South Africa. Forbidden to speak, the slaves developed their own language by slapping their gumboot & rattling ankle chains.
Celebration of the body as a musical instrument. Energetic.
