The Soulstress and the Rogue Performer - Peter and Malika
MALIKA NDLOVU AND PETER VAN HEERDEN 16 April 18H30 SABC 1
DIRECTED BY LLEWELYN RODERICK
Malika Ndlovu, feminist spoken word poet and musician, is rarely ever stumped for words. This is until she first views controversial performance artist Peter van Heerden’s hard-hitting piece about abuse against women and children. Peter on the other hand, is a man of few words. His message is articulated in ways that make you squirm but keep you rooted, and paying attention. With both artists sceptical about the others’ genre – it is amazing to witness a collaboration come together with political and creative depth as they poignantly take on the issue of burying South Africa’s colonial past.
