A Walk Into The Night

The biennale launched with a 1 hour-long procession curated by Claire Tancons (New Orleans/USA). Inspired by the history of the Cape Town Carnival, A Walk Into The Night stages an inventive shadow play by visual artist Marlon Griffith (Trinidad) and composer Garth Erasmus (CPT), together with a hundred local participants, to tell the story of the forced removals in Cape Town. But it is also an invisible masquerade that reveals a day in life of the migratory inhabitants of the city and a stroll along the spaces that punctuate our existence.
