‘An excessive desire to acquire or possess more than what one needs or deserves.’

Tavaziva Dance returns in 2025 with Bawren Tavaziva’s ‘Greed’, a dynamic, powerful, exhilarating dance piece first performed to great acclaim in 2013.

With his unmatched ability to craft work that speaks and resonates with his Zimbabwean upbringing and with his life in the UK, Bawren Tavaziva faces up to the allure of the seven deadly sins.

Greed deals with the interplay of money, power and religion, and the subtle and not-so-subtle power relations between African and Western cultures. Accompanied by a stimulating and infectious soundtrack, this challenging fast-paced production will excite and enthuse you.

Timely in 2013, ‘Greed’ is even more relevant in 2025, given the increase in environmental degradation and ongoing corporate destruction of natural resources in Africa in the intervening decade.
