The Botsotso Jesters, formed in 1994, are active in performance, publishing and electro-acoustic recording.
They are multilingual, make frequent use of song, and their performances feature individual and collectively written poems.
They have performed on many different stages, in many different settings, including festivals, schools, libraries and universities.
In their performances they set out to form a poetry and movement mosaic at the levels of action and meditation, specifically expressing contemporary South African life, but very aware that this is a microcosm of global consciousness and experience.
Their publications include:
WE JIVE LIKE THIS (1996)
DIRTY WASHING (1999)
PURPLE LIGHT MIRROR IN THE MUD (compact disc) (2001)
REETINGS EMSAWAWA (2004)
