No sparks at Hifa opening

THE Harare International Festival of the Arts (Hifa)’s opening concert on Tuesday night at the ZOL’s main stage in Harare Gardens failed to ignite sparks of excitement among merrymakers compared to previous editions.

The 18th edition of the arts extravaganza is running under the theme, We Count.

The performances on the night by over 100 singers, dancers, acrobats and puppeteers from various parts of the world failed to thrill the crowd, if the fans’ reactions were anything to go by.
