Your platform for self-expression might be a diary, but for choreographer Gregory Maqoma, it’s the stage. Since 1999, he has traveled the world telling his story through movements that are at once strong and jovial, vulnerable and sincere, but all inspired by his life in South Africa. This Friday and Saturday, he’ll bring his latest tale, Beautiful Me, to the Byron Carlyle Theater. With a production as simple as his execution is unique, Maqoma’s four-piece band (sitarist, percussionist, violinist, and cellist) will lay down the musical foundation while he triumphantly dances all over it. It’s part of Miami Dade College’s Cultura del Lobo performance series, so expect to be enthralled, enlightened, and, most of all, entertained.
The show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $22 and $26 for general admission, $18 for adults and seniors.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
