SUMMARY:Dance of the La Gumas
DESCRIPTION:This year we celebrate the centenary of Alex La Guma’s birthday. But who was this literary genius who was hounded\, tortured and driven from his home country? Who won countless awards all over the world? Who lies buried in the Heroes Acre of a Cuban cemetery? \nStarring Elton Landrew and Rehane Abrahams\, Dance of The La Gumas\, tells the remarkable story of a heritage that was almost buried by the bannings and exile of the apartheid state.  La Guma’s writing is brought to life with elegance and style by playwrights Basil Appollis and Sylvia Vollenhoven. It’s a powerful love story that combines the gentility of dance or poetry\, brutal torture and exotic global adventures with equal ease.
