Spirit of Uganda

To the melodic tones of standing drums, dramatic choreography and gorgeous call-and-response vocals, Spirit of Uganda returns to the Annenberg Center and brings to life the sounds and movements of East Africa. Ambassadors for Uganda’s 2.4 million orphans, the company’s 22 vibrant performers, ages 8–18, personify the resilience and promise of Africa’s next generation as they promote awareness of Uganda’s dual crises—AIDS and civil war—and raise funds to support their homeland.
