Best of the Flikker & Flash festival
CAFÉ SOUVENIR
By Antoinette Kellermann, Wessel Pretorius, Phillip Rademeyer, Melissa Myburg, Ira Blanckenberg, Cintaine Schutte and Bianca Oosthuizen
Boasting a stylistic structure, this is a poetic reflection on one’s life and suffering. It is complemented by Kellermann’s quiet leadership.
YAKABANI LE PANTY (translates into ‘whose panty is this’)
By Carin Bester and Peggy Mongoato
This performance-art piece is a meditation on femicide, genderbased violence and rape. There are no words. Just profound provocation, anguish, solidarity and connection rooted in the ritualistic action.
UMVULO
By Chase Lutron, Danneline Ramsden, Farrol Coetzee, Jerome Rex, Phumlani Mndebele, Sinethemba Bibi,Whaden Johannes and Wilken Calitz
This is an encouraging promise of what the South African version of hip-hop theatre could look like. With elements of dance, spoken word, rap, music and pop culture, it tackles identity and personal histories.
