DESTINO TRIUMPHS IN ETHIOPIA
DESTINO premiered at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London in March and toured the UK as DESTINO ON THE ROAD visiting venues in Leeds, Cambridge, Manchester and London. In collaboration with The Ethiopian Gemini Trust and British Council, the journey has come full circle with three successful performances in Addis Ababa's National Theatre, which brought audiences to their feet.
'Addis has been an extraordinary success and also an unforgettable experience.....we are not the same people today that we were.' Gwen Van Spijk, Producer
'Junaid and Addisu were stunning, and the community piece involving mixed ability and disabilty moved people to tears of joy.' Audience member
'We got those kids ready for the show within three weeks of auditioning....these kids have never danced before.' Mekbul Jemal, memeber of Adugna Community Dance Theatre Company
Quotes
‘I think it’s going to be really exciting to work with people who have never danced before, I think its going to be the most incredible start to some of their journeys into dance. I hope that it will inspire and excite them to take this further and I hope it will inspire and excite some of them just to do something, something new, take a risk, and be brave in their lives.’
- Tara-Jane Herbert, Artistic Director, Dance United
