DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Brooklyn Academy of Music’s (BAM) four-day DanceAfrica festival returns this May following the theme of “Mozambique: Movement! Magic! Manifestation!”
The Memorial Day tradition will honor 50 years of Mozambican liberation from Portugal in 1975. The annual event will take place in Downtown Brooklyn for the 48th time. The program will run from May 23 to May 26 at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House.
The main event is a dance performance series, but the Mozambican tribute will include films, classes, art and the outdoor DanceAfrica Bazaar, which will turn BAM’s surrounding streets into a marketplace with hundreds of vendors. The festival is an effort to preserve and celebrate Mozambican culture through tradition and art.
A detailed program and ticket and registration information can be found on the BAM website.
