The Via Katlehong Dance Company is part of the pantsula culture , born in the townships, in the 1960′-70′.
Created in 2004, Nkululeko celebrates the ten year anniversary of the abolition of apartheid.
Press review
“Nkululeko, an unrestrained piece which celebrates ten years of freedom in South Africa, is a clever mix of various popular dances. (…) The whole piece creates a language which speaks directly to those who enter the circle. The gumboots defeated the leathers which symbolise power.”
Marie-Christine Vernay, “Dix ans de liberté sud-africaine” (“Ten years of South African freedom”), Libération, 23-24 July 2005 (article originally in French translated in English).
