Biko's Quest
Memory - Identity - History - Emotion: these are the cornerstones of Biko's Quest, a powerful large cast production. JazzArt Dance Theatre Company?s interpretation of inspirational anti-apartheid campaigner Steve Biko's story is a reflection on our humanity that reaches far beyond the racial context. The life, death and legacy of Biko, murdered at the hands of security police during the apartheid era in South Africa, are compellingly explored as the performers take the audience on a poignant and emotional journey through danced storytelling, often joyous, then dropping into the depths of tragedy. "It is better to die for an idea that will live, than to live for an idea that will die" Steve Biko. Running time: 80mins. Age 7+
