Full Moon, Vuyani Maqoma’s 25-man epic dance show, soon at Nelson Mandela Theatre

Vuyani Maqoma, South Africa’s legendary choreographer, is a  contemporary dance genius. Full Moon, directed by Maqoma with co-choreographer Luyanda Sidiya, features 25 dancers and the South African National Youth Orchestra (SANYO), and its original music was composed by Isaac Molelekoa. The costumes were designed by the Black Coffee label, which is headed by designer Jacques van der Watt. The show is a dance odyssey that is meant to take the audience on a stirring, surreal journey from outer space to the landscapes of earth, drawing on ancestral memories and myths, the organisers said.
