Explore the fascinating relationship between Cuba and Guinea as Duniya Dance and Drum Company, Arenas Dance Company, and Dance Mission come together for an extraordinary event. On Saturday, October 14, witness the captivating performance of "Cuba to Guinea" at San Francisco's Dance Mission Theater. This one-day-only event will feature a variety of exciting activities, including performance excerpts, work-in-progress showings, film screenings, and a panel discussion. Delve into the vibrant and complex social and political connections between these two nations, stemming from the transatlantic slave trade and the subsequent exchange of dance and culture since the 1960s.

Renowned artistic directors Susana Arenas Pedroso (Arenas Dance Company) and Bongo Sidibe (Duniya Dance Company) have collaborated with Dance Mission Theater's Liberation Academy to shed light on the enthralling political and cultural story between Cuba and Guinea, West Africa. Through this multi-year journey, they aim to emphasize the power of cultural art forms and community solidarity as essential tools in contemporary battles against colonialism.

Tickets for this unforgettable experience are available on a sliding scale, ranging from $10 to $50. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds, ensuring that everyone can partake in this enlightening event. Prior to the main program at 4:30pm, participants can also enjoy FREE Guinean/Cuban dance and drum workshops, offering an opportunity to further immerse themselves in these rich cultural traditions.
