Hillbrowfication

Quick Info

21 children and young people from Hillbrow, a Johannesburg neighborhood, develop potential as well as impossible future scenarios for their district and its residents.  Hillbrow, originally planned as a modfel development, is now marked by poverty and has a bad reputation for its corruption. In „Hillbrowfication” the performers design their Hillbrow of the future. The results are utopias and dystopias of ghettoization and gentrification and: those who have good dancing skills are in power. The group negotiates around the racism and violence it lives every day and undermines stereotypical narratives.

Under the direction of Berlin-based choreographer Constanza Macras, it was developed along with the dancers as an outreach project on location in 2018. The work fascinates due to its infectious energy and humorously challenges our perspective of order in society.
