Description

Blue Blood

Our blood, which binds us all together is a richness of colour that makes up the red pigment. This red thick fluid are our memories of centuries of shared history between cultures and generations. In the latest play of South Africa's leading choreographer Gregory Maqoma, blood is used as a metaphor for the connection between generations. He invited representatives of the old and young generation as dancers Luyanda Sidiya and Shawn Mothupi and singers Madale Kunene and Syd Kitchen. Playing and acting with each other gives them and the public a chance to examine and change new and old traditions.
