This work re-imagines a time of independence and pride, breaks the hold of negative colonial attitudes and stereotypes about African incapacity, and contributes new narratives about the roles played by women and children in times of war. At the same time, the work explores history and performance as a tool to interrogate the past of the amaXhosa as a nation and how they are perceived today, and to trace their painful past in order to find ways of healing and reconciliation
