Chilahaebolae
a play by Kgafela oa Magogodi
24 September to 1 October
Outside The Point of Order, Braamfontein
Building on a trinity of song, incantation and physical storytelling, the production is conceived as mogaga play making or an anticipatory dance drama. Various skills, from vocal agility, acrobatic dexterity to physical elasticity, are required for players who must morph into different animals and features of the landscape. With this piece of work, we join Amiri Baraka in mantra, "Show the chains... let them see the chains falling.
