Created by Vusi Mdoyi and Jakari Sherman
Following the success of Drumfolk, Step Afrika! returns with The Fruits of Our Labor, a bold new work created by celebrated South African choreographer Vusi Mdoyi and longtime collaborator Jakari Sherman. Blending stepping, body percussion and contemporary dance with the vibrant energy of isipantsula and South African gumboot dance, the production unites virtuosic performers in a dynamic fusion of rhythm, ritual and storytelling. Together, Mdoyi and Sherman lead an ensemble whose bodies become instruments, clapping, striking and stepping in mesmerizing unison.
In the bodies of these skilled performers, the beat is obviously unstoppable. — The New York Times
