the double room, choreographed by PJ Sabbagha and funded by the European Union CWCI Flagship Project, is a full length performance piece about the discourse surrounding HIV - the anthropological otherness we impute on the diseased, and the possible good in contamination. Its varied media include physical theatre, dance, acting, computer animation, interactive software, written and performed (slam) poetry, and extremely inventive lighting and set design. It has been called "a new way of looking at dance in South Africa" (Adrienne Sichel, The Star, South Africa) and dubbed "narratography" - a co-invented, plotless yet emotional and political dance / physical theatre narrative - by Fred Hagemann, a Senior Professor of Dance at the School of Arts, Witswatersrand University, Johannesburg, South Africa.
