CLOSER reveals our need for human connection and the diversity and inclusion that is essential in a true democracy. CLOSER was created in collaboration with SOULSKIN Resident filmmaker Jaco Strydom over a period of 7 months. Also viewers will be treated to a sneak peak of a new dance in progress, The Awakening. The vibe for this ballet harks back to the 70's and never ending party that was STUDIO 54. The dance floor became a platform for individual exploration and expression of all kinds. Disco music became a common thread for peoples of all races and classes to share. The Awakening is both Celebration and a Prayer… to sow the seeds of reconciliation and compassion in a time of division.
