APGRD Notes
A ReTAGS research production (ReTAGS: Reimagining Tragedy from Africa and the Global South, University of Cape Town) which reimagines a fragment from Homer's Odyssey. The development of 'iKrele leChiza...' was severely impacted by the Covid pandemic and in response to social distancing measures became "episodic, digital and sonic performances," including a streamed version filmed in an empty theatre, and 8 "digital hybrid short" videos (Umhobe I; Umhobe II; Umhobe III; iTarhu neCamagu I; iTarhu neCamagu II; ngoMzi-mba noMhlaba; Inceba ngengceba zethongo; uyakubuya nam ndilibhodlo), captured and edited by Sanjin Muftić. A further adaptation for the stage was performed in 2022 (for which see production id 14868).
