25 September Monthati Masebe and Tali Lehr-Sacks: “Sun trans-fusion”


In this audiovisual piece, the performers will be looking at the metaphorical connections between plant life and “queerness". By taking the time to watch a plant grow, there are things we notice – things that nature has learnt. Things that have become inherent in the fight for survival. Human beings have done the same. This cutting-edge production will portray the historical struggles of the queer community and the fruit it has borne today, through a conversation between music and visuals that strives to entice mixed feelings about what comes with darkness and light, struggle, resilience, change, adaptability and growth.


The production shows both of the personal experiences of cast members as young, queer South African womxn, as well as expresses immense gratitude for the queer communities that came before them. “We are no longer afraid of starting this conversation in the classical world, as we use music and art to express ourselves, like the plants of the earth – by changing direction towards the sun, and hopefully pull some out of the dark by inviting them to grow alongside us."
