FIVE STARS – ‘Africa Umoja’ at the National Theatre

‘Africa Umoja’ at the National Theatre By Bev Fleisher on November 7, 2014 The energy of Africa Umoja virtually leapt off the stage. At times, the performer’s enthusiasm was nearly matched by the shout-outs, ululations, whistling, foot stomping, singing, arm-waving and clapping emanating from the audience. Washington is fortunate to have another taste of the world-renowned production. This year’s tour is especially meaningful as it celebrates 20 years of freedom and democracy in South Africa.
