Choreographer Dickson Mbi presents his latest work, 'Tellus', at Sadler’s Wells East in London, showcasing a blend of his Cameroonian heritage and contemporary dance styles. The performance features live music that complements the choreography, enhancing the emotional depth of the narrative, which addresses themes of environmental crisis and hope through a folk tale involving a goddess.

Mbi, who has expanded his role to include composition, collaborates with various artists to create a visually striking experience. The piece runs until October 24 and reflects a growing trend in the arts to engage with pressing global issues through innovative storytelling.
