Lagos is set to experience the most sophisticated dance production of the decade on Monday December 24th (Christmas Eve), at the prestigious Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos, at 4pm as Nollywood’s top talent, Monalisa Chinda stuns Nigeria’s theatre and performance world with the maiden edition of her world class production titled Project Help: A Dance for Life.
This is an enactment of a thrilling classical contemporary dance powered by the incredible Bailamos Dance Company, an ensemble that has treated Nigerian aristocrats, elites and technocrats to the best ecstatic performances as directed by choreography wizard Bunmi Olunloyo.
Featuring an array of Nigeria’s biggest superstars including Desmond Elliot, Kate Henshaw, Segun Arinze, Bimbo Akintola, Bovi, Saeon, the prima ballerina, Monalisa Chinda and many more, this breathtaking benefit dance production will showcase even more theatrical elements and aesthetics as the Nollywood stars will also deliver electrifying performances that will intensify the tempo of this historical Christmas dance production.
Speaking about the inspiration behind this , Monalisa enthusiastically stated, “ I've been nurturing the dance production idea for quite a while but my several engagements wouldn’t avail me enough time, so I kept developing it. I've always wanted a production, away from the norms, where people can experience classical recitals at its very best.”
I also see it as a powerful means of awakening the dwindling culture of theatre in Africa at large.
