NFRW/T - (adj. Egyptian for good/beautiful/perfect) - a Circus Arts production that honors our Ancestors' Spirituality, where the duality of feminine and masculine energies presents itself in elements of nature, originating in Egypt since 3150 BC before European colonization sought to eradicate and discredit our culture. NFRW/T proves that Nature should be revered and our connection to this duality aka "Queerness" or "Gender Expansiveness" is our return to Source Energy. Artists embody these elements by performing Circus Aerial Arts and Dance set to Afro-Diasporic music including Afrobeats, Vogue, Waacking, and House. This is ANKOLE's third production performing for the 2nd Annual International Black Indigenous Circus Week and is one of the BIPOC New Work Track grant recipients.
With over 100 offerings from rebellious circus, delicious dance, fearless theatre and activist art to workshops, parties, and more Cannonball pushes the boundaries of live performance at four different venues this Fringe. Come as you are and stay past bedtime at cannonballfestival.org.
