The Cabaret is proud to present The Cabaret’s inaugural Artist in Residence, Lasana Kazembe, and the world premiere of his latest artistic endeavor: Firedance. Coming off the heels of his highly acclaimed Voodoo of Hell’s Half Acre (which premiered nationally on National Public Television), Firedance is an original work developed and conceived by Lasana Kazembe and featuring music composed by Indy’s jazz guru, Rob Dixon. This multimedia, multi-disciplinary event features live musical performance with some of Indy’s finest musicians and integrates spoken-word storytelling, dance, and a visual artist who will create a live painting onsite. This work draws on the African cultural concept of Serudj-Ta, meaning: to repair and remake the world – the restorative practice by which we replenish and transform the world in order to make it more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
