NAfro Dance Artistic Director Casimiro Nhussi, presents “Matope” inspired by the mystic tale from the Makonde people of northern Mozambique and south of Tanzania. Matope, meaning ‘mud’ in Swahili, is the spirit that comes from muddy land in Namaua village who comes out at sunset to pay a visit to the villagers. Its entire body is covered with mud and is unknown to the villagers and therefore it creates fear. Matope dance production examines the fear of living with an unknown spirit.

Studio/Office Space To Rent

St. Norbert Arts Centre has a main floor gallery to rent for special events but it also has 2nd and 3rd floor studio/office space to rent for those that are looking for location that is in a spacious country lot surrounded on three sides by the historic La Salle River (La Rivière Sale) near St. Norbert. Though the facility is just minutes from the city of Winnipeg, the site exudes the same sense of calm and seclusion as when the Trappist monks lived here. You will have a daily opportunity to enjoy mature deciduous forest extending throughout the grounds, the riverbanks, a fruit orchard, several vegetable and flower gardens along with the extraordinary remains of the tyndall stone chapel and monastery, “The Ruins.”
