William Kentridge Performance | Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts The Head & the Load

Boasting an international cast of singers, dancers, actors and musicians, acclaimed South African artist William Kentridge’s The Head & the Load shines a light on the nearly 2 million African porters and carriers who served German, French and British forces during World War I in Africa. The New York Times described the show as ‘a fiercely beautiful historical pageant of music, movement and shadow play that reanimates these lost African combatants.’
