Gumboots: An Explosion of Spirit and
Song
A
dance movement born in the gold mines of South Africa,
Gumboots shares the story of the hard-working, oppressed
laborers who, since they were not allowed to speak while
working, developed a method of communication by stamping
and slapping their government-issued Wellington rubber
boots. While this may sound grim (and the circumstances
certainly were), the resulting movement is incredibly
captivating. In an 80-minute performance, Gumboots takes
you from the dark mines to the after-shift party and to
the dawn of a new day--and it's all done in perfect
rhythm.
