Robyn Orlin’s We wear our wheels with pride is a vibrant tribute to the rickshaw drivers of South Africa’s past, celebrating their resilience, artistry, and strength. Inspired by Orlin’s childhood memories of Zulu men pulling elaborately decorated rickshaws under apartheid, the piece transforms their movements into a dynamic fusion of dance, song, and theatrical spectacle. Performed by Johannesburg’s renowned Moving into Dance Mophatong (MIDM), the work reconnects with a shared cultural heritage while pushing the boundaries of contemporary dance. Vocalist Anelisa Stuurman (Annalyzer) adds breathtaking depth, blending slam poetry, Khoisan traditions, and modern musical innovations with composer Yogin Sullaphen. Bursting with energy and defiance, We wear our wheels with pride is a visually striking, rhythmically powerful celebration of South African identity and expression.
