Via Injabulo

Via Injabulo is the name of the new dance event by the Via Katlehong company in collaboration with two recognised names in European dance: Amala Dianor and Marco da Silva Ferreira. The South African company is back on tour in Europe after the great success of its Via Kanana programme. Named after a township near Johannesburg, the company focuses on South African protest culture. The dancers are gifted Tap Pantsula performers, a unique dance style combining Pantsula, Step, and Gumboots dance. For their new creation, Via Katlehong invites two choreographers. Amala Dianor deepens his hybrid and rhythmic dance with Emaphakathini. He takes the stories of the dancers and combines them with those of their country. Marco da Silva Ferreira, inspired by various urban dances, takes on a metamorphosis of bodies with førm Inførms, releasing a cultural and political memory made up of rebellion and the rage to live.
