SUMMARY:YAZUKE - The Forge
DESCRIPTION:YAZUKE: The Forge A Thousand Faces of FearA Single Song of Home YAZUKE is a site-specific contemporary African dance production presented within the iconic forge of master blacksmith Conrad Hicks at the Bijou Building in Observatory\, Cape Town.Inspired by the legend of Africa's first Samurai\, YAZUKE explores the profound dialogue between the self and the myriad faces of fear. Approached through BABA YAYA's distinctive lens\, YAZUKE draws together African contemporary dance\, martial movement\, ritual performance\, live music and the introspective qualities found within Japanese avant-garde theatre. Through movement\, music and ritual\, the body becomes both instrument and archive\, carrying memory\, demons and the search for belonging.A celebration of hybridity\, resilience and creative becoming\, YAZUKE inhabits a space between worlds\, where audiences are invited to confront fear\, honour plurality\, and find solace in the unknown forces that shape us\, and the songs that call us home.Curated By: Mandla Mbothwe and Benjamin Nivison Choreographic Direction: Maxwell Xolani Rani Dance Artists & Choreographic Collaborators:Lee van de MerweMukhove MonyaiTanzley JoosteMonique DawsonKabo KolaMusicians and Sound Design:Lukho NoyilaBabalwa PotelwaMatlali MatabaneOfentse Segale
