Event Description:
Stayton Public Library is excited to be hosting “South Africa through the Eyes of Michael Moloi” on Thursday, September 26 at 6:00 pm in the E.G. Siegmund Meeting Room. This program is free and all ages are welcome.
Moloi will present the story of South African mine workers during times of apartheid when families migrated to Johannesburg from their rural homes. The performance consists of dance, storytelling, poetry, singing, and lots of energy.
Choreographer, Art Director, Performing Artist and Designer Tumelo Michael Moloi was born in 1981 in the notorious apartheid-era township of Katlehong, south-east of Johannesburg, South Africa. Michael displayed an amazing talent for sports, arts and dance at a very young age. He began his dance career at age 16 as a member of the highly acclaimed South African dance company Via Katlehong. Michael and the dance troupe performed a mix of the street dance forms known as pantsula (South African town dance) and gumboot (mine workers).
This event is sponsored in part by the Stayton Friends of the Library and the Marion County Cultural Corporation.
