Abstract:
Performance, installation, and African-based ritual represent the body as a site of subversion, sexuality, and healing at the 2018 Cape Town Live Art Festival. Provocative performances are located in sites across the city — the Cape Coast Castle (with its 19th-century slave-holding dungeons), a warehouse, a museum, a railway station, and the library.
