DUKE PERFORMANCES OFFERS LIMITED COMPLIMENTARY TICKETS TO LEADING 
POST-APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICAN DANCE CO.

Association Noa / Company Vincent Mantsoe's "Men-Jaro" 
Saturday, March 3 at 8p in Page Auditorium on Duke University's West 
Campus

Choreographer/dancer Vincent Mantsoe hails from Soweto, South Africa.  His 
latest work, “Men-Jaro” (township slang for ‘friendship’), continues his 
quest to celebrate and stretch the relationships amongst African dance, 
ritual, and music. The piece features an international ensemble of 
performers from South Africa, the U.S., Japan, and France, as well as the 
music of African composer Anthony Caplan and the African Music Workshop 
Ensemble. Last week, Mantsoe brought “Men-Jaro” to NYC and received this 
high praise from the New York Times:
 
Mr. Mantsoe performed a solo of such fierce stamping, writhing intensity 
that he appeared to enter into a trancelike state. He was extricated by 
another dancer, who gripped him by the shoulders, slowing his ritualized 
turns, then supported his sagging body until consciousness seemed to 
return. After a while the two began to dance in unison, once again simply 
(or not so simply) performers on a stage. In this glimpse of dance as a 
direct expression of spiritual connection to something greater than the 
physical self, “Men-Jaro” exerted a powerful spell.
 
If you are interested in attending, please send an e-mail with your name,

We look forward to seeing you at what promises to be an extraordinary 
performance.
