The Ludwig Van Picture Show//U-Carmen eKhayelitsha

The fourth date in the month of November with the video-musical series The Ludwig Van Picture show features a peculiar experiment by filmmaker Mark Dornford-May: U-Carmen eKhayelitsha, a South African version of Bizet’s Carmen, rewritten in the local language but with the very original music score by Bizet. Winner at Berlin Film Festival in 2006. With a strong mixture of opéra-comique music and traditional South African rhythms, the movie features a new perspective on post-apartheid South Africa.
