Co-written by Tarisai Vushe and Playscript’s Geoffrey Sykes, OUT OF AFRICA  is an exciting collage of traditional African and modern Australian song, dance, storytelling, rap, legend, comedy and more, their inspiring migrant stories will entrance audiences. Along the way audiences are invited to share visions of Africa’s past and Australia’s present – with dramatic differences… as well as some surprising common ground – along the way! 

Tarisai Vushe has had an outstanding career as a singer since arriving in Australia 20 years ago. She’s featured on TV (including Australia’s Got Talent), in lead roles in touring musicals, including in the Lion King and Madiba (Mandela) and, most recently, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

She is joined by rap artist and poet Samuel Barrie, and accomplished dancer Emilia Wakpa, and supported by talented Ugandan-born Kenneth Tusubira with drums and dance, acclaimed Zimbabwean keyboard player Jonathan Chagaresango and accomplished dancer Emilia Wakpa.
