AURUM

URBAN ART MUSEUM, BERLIN, GERMANY, 2017

DESIGN INDABA CONFERENCE, CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA, 2019

AURUM is a theatrical performance piece created by Inka Kendzia and Faith XLVII. A multi-disciplinary project coalescing videograph and dance into a live immersive installation.

The layered piece weaves together various narratives with overarching themes including immigration, borders, protest, government oppression and the strength of the human spirit to overcome these challenges. The symbolic use of the flag further explores notions of patriotism / nationalism / surrender / compliance / negotiation and ultimately peace.

The inaugural performance took place in Berlin during the opening of the Urban Nation Museum in 2017. For The Design Indaba Conference in South Africa in 2019, Aurum was performed by PURE.
