People on the Move is ’n kragtige ervaring wat jou meesleur met aangrypende Suid-Afrikaanse verhale van die soeke na geleenthede en geborgenheid. Met treffende fisieke storievertelling, musiek en drama volg dit reise van vroeë migrasie tot gedwonge verskuiwings en ballingskap. Dit bereik ’n hoogtepunt in die werklikhede van hedendaagse vlugtelinge en asielsoekers wat steeds oor grense heen vlug van gevaar. Die stuk nooi gehore om migrasie te erken as ’n gedeelde menslike ervaring wat diep verweef is met die land se verlede en hede.

This powerful, high-impact dance-theatre experience draws you into South Africa’s compelling stories of journeying in search of belonging, opportunity and survival. Through striking physical storytelling, music and drama, it traces journeys from early migration to forced removals and exile. It culminates in the realities of today’s refugees and asylum seekers - many still fleeing danger, crossing borders, and forced into hiding - inviting audiences to recognise migration as a shared human experience woven deeply into our country’s past and present.
