This interactive artistic experience, choreographed and composed by the talented Artistic Director N’deré Adeifa and Monique Pascall, invites you to reflect on and celebrate the myriad influences that shape our identities and aspirations. An’de merges music and movements from our ancient and modern cultures, crafting a medley that honors Afiwi’s past, present, and future, as well as the broader Toronto community and beyond.
