vROT

Nelisiwe Xaba is one of South Africa’s most acclaimed choreographers and performance artists. Her work is internationally recognised for its fearless engagement with the body as a site of protest, vulnerability, transformation, and resistance.

In vROT, Xaba uses the concept of decay to interrogate corruption in South Africa. Combining dance, video, sound, and textile, the piece offers a microscopic exploration of social decay, where processes of moulding mirror the conditions of contemporary society.

Date: 16 & 17 April

Venue: Adam Small Lab Theatre, Stellenbosch

Time: 19:00
