Cardboard Man | CENTRE OUTSIDE THE CENTRE | BROWN UNIVERSITY

Conceptualised and performed by Vusi Mdoyi and Micca Manganye, Cardboard Man is a deeply experimental and playful performance that makes use of the unique visual realms of the Pepper’s Ghost and the inherent musicality of the body in motion.
In Cardboard Man, Mdoyi and Manganye replicate and remix childhood games. Here, games and play become vehicles for dreaming and escaping reality, and rhythm becomes a language of its own.
In these games, they embed their childlike dreams, hopes, and ideas and in this way, the performance becomes a playful, but profound reflection on the realities of class and identity, and how this shapes one’s life from a young age.
