AMICI Dance Theatre Company celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2021, albeit a little late due to the world-wide Covid pandemic, with a full-company production which told the personal and sometimes harrowing stories of just a few of the refugees and displaced people in the world.
With over 80 disabled and non-disabled performers on stage, many specially invited from all over the world, this festival of colour and music, tragedy and comedy was AMICI’s biggest production to date.
Directed by AMICIi’s artistic director, Wolfgang Stange, the show celebrates the beauty, love and unity of people from different cultures across the globe and was part of a celebratory week of workshops, a photographic exhibition and films.
“Without hope we would be lost indeed. Amici shows that sharing and celebrating each other‘s difference is the only way forward.” Wolfgang Stange
