The Wedding [extract 1]
Year of production

Year of creation
1960
The show ‘The Wedding’ reflects a period in the life of the choreographer Pearl Primus, a journey through traditional African dance.
Pearl Primus produced this piece following her research in what was then Zaire. ‘The Wedding’ was backed by the New York Times journalist Anna Kisselgoff, who wrote: “[This piece] is not a modernized stylized representation of an African ritual. This is authentic. The authenticity is adapted and translated into an acceptable theatrical language. Miss Primus was able to reproduce this particular form with brilliance worthy of the greatest scenographers.”
