YEBO YES!
"Singing more than one part, telling more than one story, at the same time, No voice surrenders its individual identity, nor does any one voice steal the show, There is no front person, no soloist, no leader."
"When I soften my hearing, something happens. The many songs coalesce to make one song that doesn't exist in any of the one voices alone. It is an emergent song that I can't find by unraveling the music into its separate strand!"
-"Entangled Life" by Merlin Sheldrake
Rapid step sequences, rhythmic movements and precise group choreographies characterize the South African dance isiPantsula, which is also characterized by virtuosity and a spirit of resistance. The Pantsula subculture arose in the Sophiatown district of Johannesburg during the violent forced removal of black people during the apartheid era. It became a common expression and identity that united the country's eleven ethnic groups and was used as a means of communication during demonstrations. In YEBO YES! the dancers combines isiPantsula with freestyle and club culture, emphasizing character, individual expression, playfulness, community and drive in a celebration of the expressive power of dance – an electrifying group dynamic and strong community that never seems to end.
