The festival will pay homage to Orlin’s innovative, political and deeply interrogated dance and theatre work that spans more than four decades of dance-making in South Africa and internationally. “Memories are about history, belonging, sometimes suffocating nostalgia, and maybe also about charting new futures… Robyn’s work is all of this and more,” Loots averred.
Orlin was trained at the London School of Contemporary Dance , then at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago . “Against an occupied Gaza, a ravaged Ukraine, anti-foreigner right-wing political movements in Europe, a South African government of national unity that is busy manoeuvring for power.”
