To celebrate his 50th birthday, Gregory Maqoma honours this journey with a work that is sentimental to him, directed by James Ngcobo.
This is one of his last performances as he retires from dancing. Respected in the arts worldwide as catalyst of change, for breaking new ground, addressing existing stereotypes and speaking against injustices in the sector, through his award-winning storytelling, Gregory has introduced the world to characters and storylines that have captured the zeitgeist of history and remain resonant to this day.
This sensitive solo work resonates in South Africa today, as the country and nation continue to weave through the necessary discourse of land.
It reflects and explores the memory and legacy of Maqoma’s ancestor, Chief Jongumsobomvu Maqoma, one of the most renowned Xhosa leaders, who was born in 1798, arrested when he ordered the English colonisers to liberate Xhosa land and died in Robben Island in 1873.
This production has been made possible by the kind support of the Department of Sports, Arts and Culture.
