Description
Summary:	Conquest and Prison is a two-part suite of site-specific dance films set in Grahamstown, South Africa. Part I -- Oscar's Journey -- is a solo performance by Oscar Buthelezi, the first African choreographer to win the prestigious Kurt Jooss Prize (Road 2016). This personal work combines spoken word and a performance at British built Ft. Selwyn. Part II -- Child's Play-- features Lorin Sookool and Julia Wilson at the Old Gaol, which imprisoned 1000's of black South Africans. This virtual duet attempts to reclaim and re-imagine this site of suffering. Dance is a form of a visual poetry. The words of the dancers reverberate in the space between past and present in South Africa.
