With beating drums and shouts of Liberty!, the Stono Rebellion spurred the Negro Act, which prohibited, among numerous rights, enslaved Africans use of drums. But the fight for freedom is never silent. A story of resistance, resilience and reclamation, Stono fills the stage with music and dance to honor the artistry and activism borne out of the body as a percussive instrument. From traditions of the ring shout to contemporary stepping, Step Afrika! reveals the hidden histories and resounding rhythms that transformed America.
Ages: For everyone 7 and up
