Inyongo | CENTRE OUTSIDE THE CENTRE | BROWN UNIVERSITY

Conceptualised and performed by Nhlanhla Mahlangu, Inyongo is an exploratory work that grapples with a branch of the same topic he’s been grappling with since childhood.
A largely analogue work that harnesses the otherworldly qualities of the Pepper’s Ghost mirror, along with the simple, but effective use of projection, Inyongo examines the effects of colonialism and apartheid on family structures.
Through the language of performance, Mahlangu puts forward a powerful reflection on how these extractive, historical forces, under the guise of civilisation and modernisation, ultimately trampled on essential parts of South African life and humanity.
