A closer look...

*** A SCAR REPRESENTS HEALING AND TRANSCENDENTAL HOPE, AT THE SAME TIME ACTING AS A REMINDER OF PAST PAIN AND LESSONS LEARNED. SCARS REPRESENT INSIGHT...***
Celeste Botha and Megan Erasmus bring to us the stories of their lineage in the language of movement and music. These two coloured women embody the strength of spirit of a culture that had to adapt to survive harsh circumstances. Dance being the language of the heart they communicate the story of the journey of the spirit of their culture in its search for understanding its own identity and its emancipation during the past century. Celeste and Megan relate the stories of their own internal and external scars, juxtaposing their life experience with the encompassing relationship of their culture as related to other South African nationalities.Their colourful culture represents, in effect, all the nationalities of our country and acts as a reminder of our history at the same time as celebrating the beauty and triumph of the human spirit.
