// PERFORMANCE //

Set to an electrifying soundtrack featuring diverse artists, including Christian Vander, Ennio Morricone, E-Man, Donae'o, Adele, Femi Kuti and the live lyrical talents of Oveous Maximus, the ladies of MAWU will debut their first full-length show -- a musical reflection on the unique experiences of each performer and their individual journeys in dance.
