(In)Visible is a contemporary dance work choreographed by Janeth Mulapha (Mozambique), created in collaboration with scenographer Jenni Lee Crewe (South Africa) and dancers from the Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative (FATC) in residence at the Ebhudlweni Arts Centre, Mpumalanga. The piece was shaped by Mulapha’s work with individuals who experienced sudden blindness in Mozambique.
Through a series of vignettes, performers move between hope and despair, addressing themes of sight and its loss, and reflecting on identity, age, injury and disability. The result is an intimate exploration of human existence.
The work premiered at the National Arts Festival in 2024 as part of Third Space, a pan-African dance programme that brings together choreographers, scenographers and arts centres to share skills and offer workshops in local communities. Third Space is an initiative of the National Arts Festival and the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS), supported by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, marking both the 50th anniversary of NAF and almost 30 years of collaboration with IFAS.
(In)Visible tours the region from October to November 2025, with performances at FATC in Mpumalanga, Maitisong in Gaborone, Artfluence in Durban and KINANI in Maputo. The programme includes both performances and workshops, with full schedules to be confirmed.
