Tonight the Plantation Miners perform with dancer Owen Manamela. The fusion of Dance, music and poetry moves performance from the stage to the audience-
the hiss in the background is a recording of street traffic- Plantation Miners are taking one and all on a journey of performativity, creativity and collaboration.
“Niyabasaba na?” -Do you fear them?
“Asibasabi, siyabafuna!!”- We do not fear them. We want them!!
A resistance anthem purred onto the mic and repeated by the audience- the spell is cast.
Every ear belongs to Plantation Miners!!
A repertoire of Hughes, Mutwa and Materra- after looking at the Theme for PASS 2010 along with research they have been doing on struggle poetry; Plantation Miners have read from the greats and this is their last song.
