Python Dance

Python Dance is a play about a family that overcame tribal conflicts. Amid constant oppression, love wins. A couple’s love is put to the test when the husband has to choose between the military and his wife. Growing suspicion and ethnic differences amongst their loved ones propelled the play forward. Also, the play revolves around a true-life story of a historical and illegitimate military assault on an ethnic emancipation group leader. Python Dance was a code name given by the Nigerian military for a brutal mission against those they were supposed to protect. The goal was to eliminate a particular political opponent. The play Python Dance gives the audience a chance to experience the interaction of ordinary citizens, their fear, their aspirations, their needs, and above all, their capacity to love in difficult times.
