ABOUT
In partnership with Pro Helvetia-Zürich and Pro Helvetia-Johannesburg, the ICA is proud to announce two performances of HOMINAL / XABA – at 19:00 on Sunday 4 and Monday 5 September in UCT's Hiddingh Hall.
The series HOMINAL / xxx was initiated by Marie-Caroline Hominal in 2015 as a collaborative triptych primarily focused on questions of authorship, appropriation, and transformation. For each iteration in the series, Hominal invites an artist, stage director, choreographer and/or visual artist to explore these questions via different modes.
Hominal / Öhrn with Markus Öhrn was created in 2018 at Théâtre Vidy in Lausanne, and Hominal / Xaba with Nelisiwe Xaba was created in September 2019 at La Bâtie festival in Geneva. The titles of the works are composed only by the names of their authors – this unites them while also dissolving the very notion of author. These names become a kind of label and a way not to question the collaboration (its dynamics, its possible hierarchies) anymore.
