Les Ballets Nègres

---

Synopsis:

This performance, presented by the pioneering black dance company Les Ballets Nègres, included three pieces, Blood, Market Day and De Prophet. The latter was based on a true incident that occurred in Jamaica. The ballet told the story of a religious maniac who tries to impress village converts by flying to heaven, and is eventually jailed as a 'lunatic'. Blood, also set on a West Indian island, made use of drums and 'tribal dances' to portray the voodoo cult which evoked memories of cultural belonging in the main female character.
