The Terra Alta Foundation will present a beautiful adaptation of the play Messiah this December in Accra, Ghana
What do we know about the Messiah play by the Terra Alta Foundation? And when can we get to view this? Well… Jamie Says!!!
In the words of the organizers, the Messiah play, which was adapted and directed by Elisabeth Efua Sutherland, “blends human intimacy with cosmic imagery in an elemental meditation on light, breath, and spirit. Joining dance and live music, the piece features a blend of local and Western instrumentation and performance forms against a digital backdrop“. This play by the Terra Alta Foundation was adapted from the classic oratorio by G.F. Handel.
