William Kentridge's The Head and The Load
This film explores the creation of artist William Kentridge's most ambitious project to date, 'The Head and the Load', which combines music, dance, film projections and more.
Artist William Kentridge's most ambitious project to date combines music, dance, film projections, mechanised sculptures and shadow play to create an imaginative landscape on an epic scale. This film explores the creation of 'The Head and the Load' which will bring to life the untold story of the hundreds of thousands of African porters and carriers who served in British, French and German forces during the First World War. The world premiere of Kentridge's major new work will be performed in July against the backdrop of London's Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. One of South Africa's leading composers, Philip Miller, and musical director Thuthuka Sibisi will create an original score drawing on a wide range of traditions. Orchestra collective The Knights will perform along with an international cast of singers, dancers and performers.
