Description
Bohareng is a performance experiment using text, physical theatre, song, drumming, and storytelling to enable an engagement between ancestors and the living through ritual performance. To frame the performance, Bohareng follows Khanyisile Mbongwa's elements of ritual performance - the remembering, the ancestral, and the spiritual. The "remembering is the act of tracing memory. The ancestral is the act of cultural recovery, the inheritance and familial. The spiritual is the act of connecting and positioning oneself through soulful alignment" (Mbongwa, 2020:11).
