Gumboot dancing was born out of the oppressive gold mines of South
Africa. Forbidden to speak and in almost complete darkness, the slave
labourers developed their own language by slapping their gumboots and
rattling their ankle chains. Unrivaled in its energy and physicality,
it celebrates the body as a musical instrument while highlighting
South Africa's rich and complex culture.
