Artistic Research Productions

The Artistic Productions are an integral component to the ReTAGS research. Antigone (not quite/quiet) was completed in 2019, however due to the Global Pandemic, iKrele leChiza needed to be reimagined as a filmed episodic performance. It is currently under development. As the research is ongoing for the next few years, not all media for the productions are currently present in this digital collection.

 

Antigone (not quite/quiet)
Antigone, an old story from the dawn of democracy. Rule, order, power, women, mortality. This production is a set of responses to the Sophocles' play from the perspective of three of the play’s characters: Ismene, Antigone, Tiresias.
iKrele leChiza 2021
This interdisciplinary and episodic performance is the reimagining of the Greek epic the Odyssey by Homer as understood through an African lens and within the landscape of Mbothwe's theatrical mythology.
iKrele leChiza 2022
iKrele leChiza...the sermon, is a production of ritual, song and magic realism, it stirs up a dreamlike state of spiritual ecstasy much like a sermon.
