Clouds of hard-to-see-through mists have lead to the destruction of the human spirit. The underlying cause for this tragedy is man%u2019s failure to deal with the complex issue of communication. For some unknown reason, man has found it extremely difficult to let his brothers and sisters know his thoughts or understand theirs in return.Not so for the National Dance Company of Senegal. For an all too brief moment the audience at theMA 4-97745 TO 10 P.M.0 %u00a3 d < ^ \\ \\ e,X U 1Dt z / ^ s i t a u x a n tmmmmA 15 MONTAGUE STREET___Klitgord Center of New York City Community College was able to catch a glimpse of %u201c universal communication.\For centuries the continent of Africa was kept a mysterious secret. The great kingdoms, the magnificent warriors, the beautiful women, the awesome art of these native peoples were denied to those outside this unknown land. Which makes the night of March 3, 1973, even more remarkable. The 45-member company brought the life of their people to their audience. The director, Maurice Sonar Senghor, auditioned over 2,000 young dancers, singers and drummers from 200 villages before deciding upon the final members. The final choice had to be the right one, for I doubt if there could possibly be a finer presentation of the folklore, legends, history, dance, music and acrobatic skill of the people of Senegal.The drums used by the men were no longer inanimate objects but life forces of their own. It was difficult to tell if the men became part of the drums or if the drums became part of the men. One man was able toturn three drums into a thousand different heartbeats.The dancers did the impossible. The %u201c harvest man%u201d with his winding, twisting and rolling movements was awesome to watch. The man on stilts managed to turn the awkwardness of the media into moving rhythmatic grace. And the acrobatics %u2014 well all I can say about that is if you can imagine the most impossible thing a man could do with his body %u2014 that was what was done. They did things that man simply cannot do and they did it with an added part to their anatomy %u2014 their instruments.Throughout the entire performance there was a continuous joy %u2014 a joy in themselves and in their brothers and sisters and in the response of the audience. The drums, the song and the dance became one %u2014 a joining of sound, of souls and of bodies. The drums played to the swiveling hips of the women while the women, in turn, were reaching out to the pounding of the mens palms upon the drums.The life of the village was shownContinued on Page 19WWWWWWVPWWW9 9 W9 V iiViifVYWVM it..D>DN*T t o < r * M <4 T H ts y e A R 7v 1 S ;t W fc . 5 0U V L A K147 A \\ omT4&U%u00a3.
