A fiery, whimsical musical performance led by Berne-based South African artist Ntando Cele, a dazzling performer with vibrant, ironic energy. Against an apocalyptic backdrop, she brilliantly tackles the human disasters of fast fashion and Western feel-good ecology, reassured by organic labels and comforting promises of recycling. When one person’s sustainable dream becomes another’s disaster… With Egyptian composer Wael Sami Elkholy and three remarkable singerperformers, Wasted Land is a wild and liberating plea for decolonial ecology.
