Two weeks of Kentridge and Co. : Dada Masilo, workshop for William Kentridge’s The Refusal of Time, 2010
William Kentridge has treated audiences in Japan, Korea, America, Australia, France, Germany and Italy to live artistic performances, and now it’s South Africa’s turn.
The iconic local artist will collaborate with some of the country’s most talented performers over two weeks in September, appearing at the Market Theatre in Johannesburg under the show title Refuse the Hour.
With music by Philip Miller and François Sarhan, dancing and choreography by Dada Masilo, video editing by Catherine Meyburgh and direction from Sue Pam-Grant, Refuse the Hour promises to be a festival of artistic ardour.
Audiences can expect some entirely new material, such as the Dancing with Dada performance, and some renowned pieces like I am Not Me, the Horse is Not Mine. Refuse the Hour serves as both a survey of performance pieces made in recent years and a laboratory for testing new material in construction. These are experiments you don’t want to miss.
Refuse the Hour takes place from 6-18 September. Tickets available from The Market Theatre and Computicket.
