Née en 1992, la compagnie sud-africaine Via Katlehong invite pour chacun de ses spectacles un ou des chorégraphes différents et reconnus internationalement.

This incessant turnover in fashion leads to huge textile waste, both by consumers, who continuously purchase clothing and dispose of out-of-trend items which consequently end up in landfills, contri
