BIKO'S QUEST at ARTSCAPE Theatre

BIKO'S QUEST is a dance production inspired by the exhibition, "Biko - The Quest for a True Humanity" created by the Steve Biko Foundation, the Department of Education and the Apartheid Museum. BIKO'S QUEST draws inspiration from the exhibition`s portrayal of Biko's life and death. Drawing from the original work, this dance production translates Biko`s quest for a true humanity from one art form (photography) to another (dance and performance). In so doing, the production re-visits the contemporary relevance of Steve Biko and his quest. The production also remembers the many people who were held in detention without trial and died under apartheid. Through BIKO'S QUEST, we bring you an interpretation of Biko's vision and interrogate how far the South African society has progressed in becoming a nation with a more human face.
