‘NOISY’ UMOJA OFF TO LAGOS

The South African dance performance Umoja, which was stopped in a British theatre because it was too noisy, will visit Nigeria this month, organisers said on Monday. The dance troupe will arrive in Nigeria’s main commercial city, Lagos, on March 22 for a series of performances over three weeks in Lagos and the capital, Abuja, said Sola Lawson, the spokesman for the promoters. He show is a mix of African songs and dances aimed at fostering the idea of togetherness, he said. – Sapa
