Sullied

"Sullied" is a powerful dance and spoken word play that sheds light on the harrowing experiences of women who face rape, misogyny, violence, and religious and societal pressures to conform in a society where they are treated as if they are not worthy. It explores the profound impact of these issues on the lives of women and their relentless struggle for empowerment, liberation, and justice.

Choreographer Kristi-Leigh Gresse (Standard Bank Young Artist for Dance 2021) and Director Matjamela Motloung take on religion, body politics, racism, gender, sexuality, rape culture and toxic masculinity with Sullied. Inspired by true events Sullied is the voice of all the women facing violence daily
