Inhambane's "the dance of polygamy" is revived by Casimiro Nhussi

The ballet "Polygamy Dance" will premiere on April 19th, at 5 p.m., at the Eduardo Mondlane Industrial and Commercial Institute in Inhambane. The concert, created by VINA Produções, is part of the celebrations of World Dance Day, held yearly on April 29th.

Casimiro Nhussi wrote and artistically directed "The Dance of Polygamy," which premiered in Maputo in 2023, with the goal of exploring the variety of performing arts in theatre, poetry, music, and, most importantly, dance.
"The Dance of Polygamy" offers a discourse on a cultural phenomena of African descent that endures in modern society through the body, representation, and orality.

The ballet will be performed on a gala evening that aims to unite the artists' thoughts and viewpoints on polygamy on stage, both historically and contemporary.

According to Casimiro Nhussi, “The Dance of Polygamy is a rain of melodic movements, of deep feelings that carry the strange emotions of husbands and wives. The Dance of Polygamy is a song and is a love poem trapped in the web of emotions of a human being. It sings the religious and cultural songs of the traditions of a people, it can be danced emotionally or intellectually.”

The ballet also seeks to influence an understanding of the impacts of Polygamy on the promotion of fundamental human rights, look at possible conflicts between tradition, law and gender, as well as reflect on the place of tradition in current society in Mozambique.

The Dance of Polygamy is a shower of beautiful motions and intense emotions that convey the peculiar experiences that spouses and partners experience, according to Casimiro Nhussi. A song and love poetry enmeshed in a person's emotional web is called "The Dance of Polygamy." It can be danced emotionally or intellectually and sings the religious and cultural songs of a people's traditions.

In addition, the ballet aims to examine potential tensions between tradition, law, and gender as well as the role that tradition plays in Mozambique's contemporary society. It also aims to promote awareness of the effects of polygamy on the advancement of fundamental human rights.

German aid for Inhambane

The German government is making a further €1.18 million available for food aid and the acquisition of seeds in the southern Mozambican province of Inhambane.
This aid follows €550,000 donated last year, via the NGO Welthungerhilfe (German Agrarian Action), for food aid and combating the effects of the El Nino weather phenomenon in Inhambane. Last year’s project reached over 10,000 people in the drought-stricken districts of Mabote and Govuro. The new finance will allow German Agrarian Action to extend its
support to Massinga district, and to cover 25,000 people.
The food aid provided through this project will be supplemented by the provision of seeds to small farmers.
Massinga was one of the districts worst hit by cyclone Dineo, which struck Inhambane on 16 February.
Germany has also recently provided €500,000 to the NGO CARE-Mozambique, and €13 million to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), to improve the food situation of people affected by last year’s drought, and, over the medium term, to make them more resilient to drought.
German Agrarian Action has been operating in Mozambique since the late 1980s, providing emergency aid, and supporting rural development, and the provision of water and sanitation services.
