Performance

The thirty-minute film presents composer Clare Loveday and pianist Mareli Stolp’s creative response to migrant women’s testimonies collected in Kihato’s book, Migrant Women of Johannesburg: Everyday Life in an in-between City. Written for vocalising pianist, the work combines piano, spoken word, and vocal utterances, to produce an immersive sound-world that interprets the words of migrant women who travelled from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Malawi to Johannesburg.
