This brash and breathtaking young South African dancer and choreographer reimagines Western classics through a contemporary African eye, joyfully weaving ballet with African dance. In this internationally acclaimed rendition of Swan Lake, Masilo and her company merge fluffy white tutus and bare feet, airborne jetés and earth-bound shimmies, tackling issues of societal pressure, segregation and homophobia with beauty and subversive wit.
Performance contains partial nudity.
