Please, Feel Free to Share is at the Pleasance Downstairs

DICKSON Mbi summons multiple identities in a solo performance inspired by a journey to his ancestral home in Cameroon.

Enowate, meaning “truth stands”, draws on sinuous elements of hip-hop and contemporary dance in combination with original music and otherworldly animated projections. Sadler’s Wells, Oct 14-15 sadlerswells.com
