MOVING MURALS

ABOUT

"Moving Murals." is a unique site-specific dance theatre piece that celebrates the rich diversity of humanity. Through a vibrant fusion of painting, traditional, and urban dance, this production explores the intricate beauty found in our varied colours, races, ethnicities, religions, and sexualities.

Choreographed by Elvis Elasu also known as Levy, "Moving Murals" delves deep into his profound appreciation of human appearance, colorism and the concept of beauty. Levy envisions the world as an expansive art gallery, where an invisible, multidimensional artist has meticulously crafted each element of our existence. In his imaginative realm, every individual is a moving mural, living art that transcends boundaries. Each person embodies a unique style, inspiration, and a distinct expression of beauty. 

The production prompts us to question: What defines beauty? How do we perceive ourselves and others? Does skin tone influence societal hierarchies? It challenges us to reflect on the definitions imposed by science, religion, and history, and invites the audience to embrace and cherish the beauty within themselves and others.

"Moving Murals" features a diverse cast of five dancers, each bringing their unique ethnic backgrounds, skin tones, and body structures to the stage. The performance runs for 45 minutes and is designed to inspire admiration and respect for everyone.
