'Infecting the City'
Various Participants at Various venues around Cape TownThe Africa Centre presents 'Infecting The City' for the fourth year in a row, a public performance festival in which Cape Town’s plazas and squares become theatres, the pavements turn into art galleries, and, this time, even a rubbish truck will be used as a stage.
This year’s 'Infecting The City' theme, ‘Treasure’, is about making art something to which everyone can relate. You’ll find sufi rituals, b-boy duels, sari wrapping, stick fighting, and even drummies in the mix with opera, sculpture and other performance art. he big new square in front of the Cape Town Station – the ‘Station Forecourt’ – will serve as the Festival Hub, where much of the action is taking place. If you catch a train into the City you’ll find various bands playing there first thing in the morning, again at lunch and in the late afternoon. There are also visual and performance artists working there throughout the day. Although the Station is the Festival Hub, the entire Central Business District will be full of 'Infecting The City' events throughout the Festival week.
