Notebook of a long day’s journey into a Hillbrow night is a production by the Windybrow Arts Centre, in collaboration with The Centre for the Less Good Idea, that emerges from a central question: What would Aimé Césaire's classic anticolonial long poem Notebook of a Return to the Native Land sound like if it were written today, by teenagers living in Hillbrow?
