Prismatic Performances: Queer South Africa and the Fragmentation of the Rainbow Nation
As I listen and watch, I am aware that I am sitting next to others. We are spectators in darkness, just as Maqoma was in darkness at the start of this show. We too are gradually emerging in the light, gaining definition, especially as we react to Maqoma, sometimes audibly as we sigh or sharply draw in our breath, other times physically as we shift our weight in a chair or lean forward. I am so close (or I imagine I am) that I can feel Maqoma’s heat and moisture and the percussive gusts of air radiating out from him. (207)
