Production Details / Press Releases

HILLBROWFICATION (2018) An alien invasion establishes a new social order based on people’s dance skills. A revolutionary princess with infinite names is able to bend the corridors of space and time… These and other stories inhabit strange worlds of possible futures and unlikely ones in HILLBROWFICATION.

Between utopias and dystopias of ghettoisation and gentrification, the fictional future histories of Hillbrow neighbourhood in Johannesburg, of its cultures and beings, create a universe where the performers negotiate and subvert self-representational narratives and their perceptions of xenophobia and violence in the city. dorkypark.org
