Taking place on Wednesday 24th April and Thursday 25th April 2025, this high-energy contemporary dance performance explores themes of money, power, and religion through the lens of African and Western cultures.
Originally premiering in 2013, Greed is the creation of renowned choreographer Bawren Tavaziva. Performed by a cast of five exceptional dancers, this visually stunning and fast-paced production promises to captivate and inspire audiences.
What to expect from Greed
Greed dives deep into the complexities of The Seven Deadly Sins, unravelling the destructive influence of greed on society. Through dynamic choreography, Tavaziva masterfully blends contemporary and African dance styles to portray the tension between wealth, corruption, and morality.
The dancers' powerful movements, combined with Tavaziva's unique musical composition featuring driving rhythms, emotive vocals, and spoken word, create an intense and immersive experience. The performance's bold lighting design and striking costumes further amplify the show's energy and emotional depth.
Audiences can expect moments of explosive physicality alongside slower, more reflective sequences - each carefully crafted to evoke themes of desire, power, and human vulnerability.
Critics have widely praised Greed:
- "A phenomenal piece of contemporary dance." - The Stage
- "The energy was… explosive." - West End Frame
- "Tavaziva Dance's 'Greed' is pretty much faultless." - Dance Hub
