In hierdie huldeblyk aan Saartjie Baartman werp Diana Ferrus lig op haar beroemde gedig oor die historiese ikoon en die rol wat die vers gespeel het om Sarah se oorskot uit Frankryk terug te bring. Die gedig is in die Franse wetgewing oor koloniale toeëiening opgeneem. In hierdie eenmalige debuutproduksie lewer van Suid-Afrika se bekendste komponiste en musikante elkeen ’n oorspronklike interpretasie van Saartjie op die feesverhoog. Westerse musiekinstrumente word met tradisionele en inheemse instrumente gekombineer om Sarah se nalatenskap namens alle Suid-Afrikaners te vier.

In this homage to Saartjie Baartman, Diana Ferrus explores her famous poem about the historic icon, and the influence of the poem in securing the return of Sarah’s remains to South Africa. The poem has been absorbed into the French legal canon regarding colonial appropriation. Some of South Africa’s most celebrated composers and performers each bring an original interpretation of Saartjie’s story to the stage in this once-off debut performance. The performances combine Western instruments and a cross-section of traditional and indigenous instruments that celebrate Sarah’s legacy on behalf of all South Africans.
