JOMBA! @ artSPACE brings art to life
By: Christiaan du Plessis
A site-specific performance gives a different view point to each of its viewers; this then generates what the audience gathers from the experience of the performance. Musa Hlatshwayo’s ABANGUNI took this challenge and made sure that every person present was a part of the journey, activating all five senses as we saw movement and dance, heard music and singing, touched sticks of sugar cane, smelt the smoke from a fire and tasted fresh fruit corn and beef. If by chance you missed the story Hlatshwayo put across, you could not miss the experience and the journey.

A beautiful and terrifying past
