Joburg Ballet’s SCARCITY is an exhilarating quartet of dance works. German-based choreographer Hannah Ma’s The Void is presented along with iconic South African dancemaker Dada Masilo’s first work for Joburg Ballet, Salomé - inspired by the play by Oscar Wilde. Ukukhanya Kwenyanga: A Moonlight Waltz by Craig Pedro compliments the programme with a classically-inspired ballet.
Finally, Dutch-based, Spanish choreographer Jorge Pérez Martínez’s Azul joins this lineup with a ballet set to music for the classical guitar. In our 30th year of Democracy, Joburg Ballet reflects on our society in the current moment. Scarcity is something many South Africans have become accustomed to. These works interrogate the social context of our lives and explore the absence of natural and material resources within the context of hope, and the loss of memory, identity and self.
