As with many periods of social, cultural, and political revolution, artists in South Africa have been vanguards of the transformation that country has experienced over the past quarter century. And the performing arts in South Africa continue to resonate with political overtones and undertones as this society continues its revolution. Join us to discover the story of a country transformed—and yet still transforming—as we explore South Africa’s history and politics through the unique prism of its arts and culture. Together we will witness how the arts are not simply a mirror which reflects society, but also, as Bertolt Brecht suggested, a hammer which can be used to shape it.
