Mamela Nyamza & Nelisiwe Xaba

Ballet at the Theater Spektakel!? The South African «prima ballerinas» Mamela Nyamza and Nelisiwe Xaba return to the Landiwiese, each of them having presented provocative solos at previous festivals. These two exceptional dancers are amongst the most intriguing choreographers in South Africa. Relentlessly they address social predicaments and taboo issues in their works. For «The Last Attitude» they appear on stage together for the first time in a long while. With astuteness and wit, they target one of the last bastions of white elitist culture: ballet. (esc)
