Spectacular visuals meet foot-stomping percussion in this stunning West Africa legend. When their village is plagued by drought, the people discover that a child is the only one who can unlock the water source. Blending African music with puppetry, drums, song and captivating shadow theatre, Baobab exuberantly celebrates the joy of passing down traditions from one generation to the next.
Playing at Manitoba Theatre for Young People February 6 - 14. Call 942-8898 or visit www.mtyp.ca for full details.
