Description

In this show South African choreographer Gregory Maqoma breathes new life into his Xhosa past.

═

He summons up ancestors who have departed this world but who live on in him, linking the past and present in a unique blend of traditional movement and contemporary insights.

═

He is joined on stage by four exceptional South African singers and Italian guitarist Giuliano Modarelli, performing songs by Simphiwe Dana, a singer and composer from Maqoma's native province of the Eastern Cape.

═

The performance is set against a rich visual landscape created by the Johannesburg-based artist Nicholas Hlobo.
