Get ready for a vibrant stage experience that transcends language itself! WOW (World of Word) is more than a show — it’s an encounter, a bridge between two worlds.
Imagine a stage where ancestral African wisdom captivates the audience. Separated by a symbolic line, one group shares its knowledge through powerful storytelling, hypnotic songs, and ritual initiation, while the other receives and learns — sometimes with fear, sometimes in resistance.
The exchange begins with the obstacle of spoken language, quickly overtaken by the universal force of gesture, rhythm, and sound. The set and its ropes become a language of their own: double Dutch skipping, bungee straps, and rope-based contortion turn into pathways of communication, pulsing with dialogue. Three guiding figures — Trust (W), Respect (O), and Wisdom (W) lead the journey.
Through acrobatic contact and moments of mutual support, the dividing line fades. Bodies merge, blending tradition with contemporary movement. The finale erupts into a choreography of unity and collective awakening: the journey itself becomes a revelation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The Viterbo University Fine Arts Center’s official and exclusive ticketing partner is OvationTix. Make sure you are buying directly through our website, www.viterbo.edu/fac or OvationTix. We do not use a third-party ticket reseller/vendor. Do not purchase through unauthorized resellers, as we will not be able to guarantee entry. If you are using a search engine to find tickets, be careful. Unauthorized sites with overpriced/counterfeit/invalid tickets are often listed above official ones. If you come across an offer online/on social media for resale tickets, please be extra cautious. If there is a ticket offer–especially from someone you do not know–that seems too good to be true, it is probably fake.
