Church Square: Spin Street, Cape TownTitle of this project: Guess who is coming to dine?
Contemporary Public Performance.
In this performance, artists set up a table placing Jacob Zuma's birthday cake at the centre of the table. This set up was placed at the centre of the Church Square only few metres away from the parliament building in Cape Town, just few days before the presidential inauguration of Jacob Zuma into presidency. Historically, this site was used as the slave trading zone. Some performing artists were tied-feasting while others were mocking them, shouting at them, belittling them into nothing but objects of amusement. With their hands tied tightly at the backs with chains, this artists devour and amputate chickens that were hanging upside down with their teeth. After all this drama, members of the public were invited to come and dine in the table full of divine foods.
Bongani Mkhonza was one of the project managers.
