Inala

Following a phenomenal 2014 tour and sell-out run at the Edinburgh International Festival, four time Grammy® Award-winning South African choral legends Ladysmith Black Mambazo join multi-award-winning choreographer Mark Baldwin in this unique artistic collaboration. Featuring world class current and former dancers from The Royal Ballet and Rambert, this critically acclaimed production embraces an exhilarating fusion of South African and Western cultures live on stage.

Inala’s original score is composed by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Joseph Shabalala and Ella Spira, blending the intricate rhythms and infectious harmonies of their native musical roots with live percussion, piano and strings. Mark Baldwin’s choreography unites Zulu traditions with classical ballet and contemporary dance, performed by an exceptional company of 18 dancers and singers.

 

Inala delivers a spiritually uplifting live experience, powered by a cultural explosion of music, song and dance.


The critical consensus

Inala is Zulu for 'abundance of goodwill', and tonight its language is universal, spreading to even the hardest heart.

This is an inspiring, uplifting and utterly mesmerising evening at the theatre – unmissable.
