The Dance Factory in association with The Market Theatre brings you Dada Masilo’s Hamlet just prior to shows in Wiesbaden and London. The work is restaged by dancer/choreographer Llewellyn Mnguni, who also plays the role of Hamlet’s mother.
Mnguni aims to honour Masilo’s intent, but to further develop the movement’s potential. He is joined by a cast of Johannesburg-based performers from the original cast and also by dancers seconded by both Joburg Ballet and Moving into Dance.
Masilo is best known for reinventing classics and for fusing different dance forms to create a new and exciting language. She always drew from the extraordinary energy of Johannesburg. Born and raised in Soweto, Masilo trained at The National School of the Arts, Jazzart Dance Theatre and the Performing Arts Research and Training Studios in Brussels. She received several local and international awards; and her works were staged in 30 countries and 176 cities around the world
