Robyn Orlin’s new work stems from her collaboration with “Phuphuma Love Minus”, a choir which perpetuates an a capella singing tradition, the Isicathamiya. She stages a concert which offers a reflection on urbanization and the social conditions of blacks in South Africa. On stage, shoes provide a humoristic metaphor for poverty and exile, as well as for dance and rhythm.

We Enter Continents Without Knocking…
