A troupe of talented Malagasy and Mauritian performers will be coming to South Florida this spring for a performance of Miaraka: A Time to Dance, the original musical written by Patsy McGregor and Collette Maurel.
The musical portrays a young woman, Mary, who is caught in the web of poverty, trafficking and prostitution. Crying, lonely and broken, she is hopeless. In desperation and fear of the future, she contemplates suicide. But God’s mercy rains down in the night and He provides hope, freedom, peace and love. Mary escapes entanglement of the web through acting on her own creative gifts; her talents with which she was born. With newfound faith, her inner being finds joy and peace. Mary becomes free and intentionally sets her mind on the things above, turning from the things that ensnare her life on earth. Beginning like a mustard seed, her faith soon begins to grow into a large tree under which other women come and sit together, enjoying laughter, love and relief from the blazing sun. These women are now able to lift their own gifts, times and talents to the Lord. As they begin to enjoy the benefits of living together in community, life becomes a celebration. Through redemption and hope, life is now A Time to Dance.
