1999 » South Africa » National Exhibition - Stage and Costume Design

Republic of South Africa

Our installation reflects the ongoing transformation process in our country since 1994 and its effect on our performing and visual arts. We have seen a strong African spirit emerge at a grassroots level and it is also now becoming evident in mainstream theatre, with dance and opera being most visible in this cross-cultural shift. There is a country-wide tendency to look to the African continent for inspiration, as opposed to Europe.
