Jo’burg dance pick: July 22 2011

The Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative this weekend hosts its second Artist in Residence programme for 2011.

? Malagasy-based international choreographer Gaby Saranouffi has reworked Soritra for the local company. The word is Malagasy for ‘trace” and the work was originally created by Saranouffi in 2003 for a small cast. Now it has been extended into a full-length work for seven dancers. Soritra is described as ‘an exploration of our experience of journey — from the past, through the present, to the future. Living through the traces left to us by others, the work examines our understanding of how our histories create our futures.” New music for the piece has been provided by Carlo Mombelli.

Wits Main Theatre, on July 27 and 28 at 8pm and on July 29 at 6pm. Tickets are R100 and R50 for students or block bookings. Book at: www.ticket.co.za.
