Described as ‘unsettling’ and ‘a provocation to examine the vexed relationship between art and its audience’, the work begins ominously with a lone shirtless male figure circling a punching bag. Choreographed and performed by Sello Pesa, Brian Mtembu, Hlenghiwe Madlala Lushaba and Humphrey Maleka, Bag Beatings was originally created in residency at The Centre for the Less Good Idea.
