DE-APART-HATE at The Baxter Theatre

DE-APART-HATE is a layered piece that reflects complexities of current issues in our world. Nyamza's work is not overtly about apartheid, and neither is about race. It is about oppressive, prejudiced and intolerant forces that exist in the society. It is about unsteadiness, anxiety and edginess. It is about shifting, shuffling, re-adjusting our discomforts, our fights and people's battles against intolerant systems. The work and its related performance depict embodied defiance, desperation, dismantling and detonation of all institutional myths and fallacies that keep people apart. DE-APART-HATE thus uses religion to symbolize all the pervasiveness of oppressive and divisive forces that infiltrate all society.
