What does a young man do when his mother has been kidnapped by conquering invaders? After 8 years he found the solution and briefly appeared in the historical records of 1820 South Africa. The two-person performance “Umnqa! Never Defeated” dramatizes this story. It stands as an example of how to use creative history to fill in the silences of the archives, finding the human element.
Performers: Azile Cibi, a poet who holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rhodes University, and Likhaya Jack, a popular pantsula (high energy) dancer with a passion for historical stories. Both were born and raised in the townships of Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown), Eastern Cape, South Africa. They demonstrate how this style of history storytelling can be taken anywhere, ranging from international stages to rural villages to street corners.
