The Project

We're raising funds to support our dance project aimed at putting Mauritius on the international dance map. As passionate dancers dedicated to our craft, we believe in the power of art to transcend borders and unite cultures. With your help, we'll be able to showcase the rich diversity and talent of Mauritius on a global stage.

Our project includes a collaboration with a talented Malagasy dance artist, Julie Iaorisa, adding a unique and dynamic dimension to our performance. This cross-cultural exchange not only enriches our own artistic journey but also fosters connections and understanding between our communities.

By donating to our fundraiser, you're not only supporting our dream of representing Mauritius internationally but also promoting cultural exchange and collaboration. Together, let's make our mark on the world stage and inspire others with the beauty and energy of Mauritian contemporary dance. Your contribution will make a meaningful difference in our pursuit of artistic excellence. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

Using the funds

Participating in Afrik Urbanarts Abidjan 2024 necessitates funds for flights, accommodation, inland transport, per diem, and sustenance. Your support will empower our involvement in this enriching cultural exchange.
