CHUMA CHUMA

Get ready for a powerful taste of what’s to come.

Straight from Tanzania, CHUMA CHUMA erupts into the heart of Pietrasanta with an electrifying solo performance by Samwel Japhet, ahead of his much-anticipated appearance on July 2.

Merging traditional Tanzanian movements with contemporary dance, CHUMA CHUMA is a physical and expressive journey through rhythm, roots, and raw energy. Developed through his dynamic workshops, this performance explores the body’s ability to communicate across cultures and styles—soft yet intense, fast yet grounded.

Fast. Fierce. Free.

CHUMA CHUMA is not just a preview—it’s a kinetic celebration of movement, identity, and transformation.

Don’t miss this explosive moment. The future of dance moves here.
