Wale Rubber on stage |
Talented dance choreographer, Akinwale
Sodade popularly known as Wale Rubber teams up with award-winning
producer, Cobhams Asuquo on his first Dance visual entitled Fearless.
The pulsating video is the first of its
kind contemporary dance narrative accompanied by its own original
sound track.
Fearless is officially released from
Friday, August 25th across major media platforms such as online, TV
and digital. In one breath, it shows the artistry as well as the
versatility of the dancer as he also gets credit as co-Director with
cinematographer, Ose Iria.
With a thought-provoking storyline, the
visual captures the plight of everyday Nigerian life. It details the
inspiring abilities for Nigerians to succeed inspite of the odds
stashed against them.
It opens with a monologue by Cobhams
Asuquo revealing his past frustration about Nigeria and how he left
for another country but returned with the harsh truth that change
begins with him. Choreographed by Wale Rubber, the dance pieces begin
at a catchy backyard compound scene and flashed to a kidnap
situation. It goes seamlessly to a street gang war with each scene
lightened up with amazing choreography.
Wale Rubber captures it this way; "The
concept of a visual totally dedicated to dance accompanied by
original music is the very first of its kind. No one has tried or
done it before. It is a daring, creative, professional and in your
face concept."
"We are telling an inspirational
story of how the Nigerian succeeds in a country where all things are
not perfect. A society where there is constant fear kidnap while
ransom guarantees freedom, where the streets are only for the bold
and wild, where hardship sometimes forces some to take their lives.
"But fearless is saying that even
in the face of these odds, Nigeria is our home, no matter how harsh
the conditions we face, we will keep on believing and doing what we
know how to do, and face our challenges head on, fearless in the face
of all the difficulty believing that the country will be great
again."
