South Africa’s award-winning Dada Masilo wowed critics and audiences with her stunning re-imagining of Giselle in 2019.
Now back by popular demand, Masilo and her company of incredible dancers return with the UK premiere of The Sacrifice.

Featuring live music on stage, The Sacrifice is inspired by The Rite of Spring, combining the European heritage of this monumental piece of music with the uniquely rhythmic and expressive movements of ‘Tswana’, the traditional dance of Botswana.

Rooted in story-telling and healing ritual, Masilo and her dancers deliver an exhilarating performance that will transport you through a journey of emotions.

There is a free post-show talk with members of the company after the 7:30pm performance on Tue 11 Apr. Tickets are free but must be pre-booked.
