Stadskoor: Soekenjin

About Event

Met **Stadskoor | -Choir | -iKwayara** **Stadskoor | -Choir | -iKwayara** beloof ’n onvergeetlike ervaring met dié nuwe produksie wat Bibi Slippers se digbundel *Soekenjin* as bronteks gebruik. Deur ’n kombinasie van nuwe gekomponeerde koormusiek en evokatiewe klanklandskappe verander Slippers se woorde in ’n ryk tapisserie van klank, ritme en emosie. ’n Keur van Slippers se gedigte word voorgedra, gesing en gelees, wat ’n dinamiese dialoog tussen stem, musiek en teks skep. Die produksie put ook inspirasie uit Suid-Afrika se populêre musiekkultuur van die afgelope twee dekades.

Inspired by Bibi Slippers’ poetry collection *Soekenjin*, this vibrant new production transforms her verses into living soundscapes. Newly composed choral works weave rhythm and emotion into Slippers’ words. Her poems are spoken, sung and read aloud, creating a shimmering dialogue between voice, music, and text. The production also draws from South Africa’s popular music culture of the past two decades.
