Choreographed by:
Lliane Loots in collaboration with the dancers

Participation from::
FLATFOOT DANCE COMPANY and Iain ewok Robinson

In THE CLEANSING, FLATFOOT DANCE COMPANY journey into the heartland of Earth issues using this performance moment to negotiate the true meaning of ecology – the connectedness of human existence to all existence. What better site than Durban’s Botanic Gardens to open up this exploration of self to our natural world. In this moving dance work, the Botanic Gardens – itself bearing the scars of a colonial heritage – are transformed to a site of continued natural beauty and potential transformations.
