"Isingqala Samanzi / The Call of Water" Ukwanda Puppets & Designs Art Collective with the Centre for Humanities Research at University Of Western Cape collaborating with Staatstheater Augsburg brings this new production to The Baxter Flipside Theatre from 22 - 24 September 2022 at 20:00 nightly with a Saturday matinee.The world-famous fountain figures of the Augustus Fountain from Augsburg meet Inkomo Yamanzi (the cow that brings water) and Roman deities meet ancestor worship. What at first glance could hardly be more different, on closer inspection perhaps proves to be less of a contrast than an affinity of essence. Through a fascinating poetic interweaving of play styles, languages and perspectives, emerges a global picture of the problem of water scarcity told using puppets by German and South African performers. While the vital element has shaped urban architecture and history in Augsburg for centuries and is available in abundance, Cape Town has suffered from a drought in recent years. The water-saving consequences drawn from this, thanks to which the shortage in the Cape was overcome, are groundbreaking for the handling of this valuable resource in the 21st century - also for Europe.22 September opening night 8pm23 September 8pm24 September 4pm24 September 8pmDuration: 80 minutes (No interval)Age restriction PG12Director- Dorothea SchroederWriter - Andreas Hillger & EnsembleTraining puppeteers - Craig LeoMusic - Fabian LobhardPerformers;Sipho NgxolaThomas PrazakKaroline StegemannSiphokazi MpofuLuyanda NogodlwanaFranziska RattayFor more information contact Siphokazi Mpofu at ukwandadesigns@gmail.com and the centreforhumanitiesresearch@uwc.ac.za ...

[REMINDER] This evening the CHR is co-hosting with DocFilmSA's docLOVE free screenings program a film screening and discussion of The Hottest August at 18:00pm at the Bertha House in Cape Town. A complex portrait of a city and its inhabitants, The Hottest August gives us a window into the collective consciousness of the present. The film’s point of departure is one city over one month: New York City, including its outer boroughs, during August 2017. It’s a month heavy with the tension of a new President, growing anxiety over everything from rising rents to marching white nationalists, and unrelenting news of either wildfires or hurricanes on every coast. The film pivots on the question of futurity: what does the future look like from where we are standing? And what if we are not all standing in the same place? The Hottest August offers a mirror onto a society on the verge of catastrophe, registering the anxieties, distractions, and survival strategies that preoccupy ordinary lives.
