Bilimankhwe Arts

A gripping comedy of magic, love and redemption. The sorcerer Prospero and his teenage daughter Miranda are exiled on a strange magical island. When Propsero raises a storm to destroy his enemies, revenge - and escape from the island - seems to be within his reach at last.
Bilimankhwe has brought actors, dancers and musicians from Malawi to work with British actors, musicians and visual artists. Together they have created a powerful, passionate and magical show, full of humour and music.

The stunning choreography is by Shyne Phiri (Zimbabwe’s Tumbuka Dance Company).

Live music is by renowned Malawian recording artist Ben Mankhamba. Soundtrack and projections sampling traditional Malawian music have been created by Bristol-based musician and film-maker Frederick Rich.
