Namari Dance Center’s professional artists and students present Imani
"Imani," the Swahili word for faith, is a powerful and emotionally charged production that tells the story of how the spiritual faith of enslaved Africans sustained them through bondage and ultimately carried them into the joy of freedom on June 19, 1865.
Through a blend of three dynamic dance pieces, two vocalists, a live painter whose work evolves throughout the show, a stirring choir, and a powerful spoken word poet, the production takes the audience on a journey from the darkness of enslavement to the celebration of freedom.
The faith that gives strength in bondage becomes the foundation for joy and celebration when freedom finally arrives. Imani honors the resilience, strength, and unity that made freedom possible and reflects how that faith continues to uplift future generations.
Tickets to Imani are complimentary, but required. Visit the Box Office for tickets on June 19.
