iKapa Dance Theatre is getting ready to showcase their first
full length production for the 2009 season and in keeping with their
innovative approach to dance they will be staging the much acclaimed
avante garde production, The Stadium, choreographed by South African
Andile Sotiya. The Stadium, being performed previously in London and Leeds
in 2003, promises to engage audiences through its experimental
deconstruction of the status quo definitions of society and art.

The production uses the cultural complexity of stadiums as
urban, creative spaces to re-evaluate the dominance of high-art in a world
that’s increasingly being characterized by the triumph of the popular. The
choreography revolves around games, issues and athletic dancing; breaking
down the barriers that inhibit us to play with the pieces of our urban
existence. This, according to Andile, is especially relevant in South
Africa, where stadiums are used for cultural events as diverse as
concerts, political rallies, sports games and even funerals.
The Stadium is one hour in length and will be showing at
Artscape Theatre from the 2nd – 5th of July 2009.
