SIFA 2017: And So You See… Our Honourable Blue Sky And Ever Enduring Sun… Can Only Be Consumed Slice By Slice… By Robyn Orlin (Review)

South African choreographer Robyn Orlin is known in her home country as ‘a permanent irritation’.

SIFA 2017: Vegetative State by Manuela Infante (Preview)

Chilean artist Manuela Infante brings her polyphonic work Vegetative State to this year’s SIFA, amplifying an actress’ mere presence as a single woman to an entire swarm, a species.
