Island Rhapsodies

Presented by Third Growth - Salama and STATE OF PLAY

In this innovative musical and choreographic work, Salama invites you to experience the magic of Island Rhapsodies, where every note and movement tells a story of emancipation, womanhood, and childhood.

Rooted in the Maloya genre, born out of slavery on Réunion Island in the 17th century, banned until 1981, and recognised by UNESCO in 2009 as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, the show highlights its powerful cultural legacy.

Feel the pulse of the islands as traditional Creole melodies intertwine with contemporary beats, creating a symphony of sound that celebrates the rich cultural heritage of the region. Immerse yourself in the vibrant choreography that brings to life the spirit of resilience, empowerment, and joy that defines island life.

Don't miss your chance to be swept away by the spellbinding beauty of Island Rhapsodies. Get ready to dance, laugh, and be moved by the stories that unite us all as we celebrate the diverse voices of the Indian Ocean islands.

Experience Island Rhapsodies with Salama – where every note is a melody, and every movement is a story.
