Intonjane


Choreographed by Nositho Maqukanya, this production details the Xhosa  ritual of girls entering into womanhood (intonjane). The ceremony seeks to teach a girl about the proper and important aspects of womanhood.  It also prepares her for a life of marriage. The story is told through indigenous dance and movements performed by Thembu women. TD-FJP
