Ubu Never Loved Us

With their performance “Ubu Never Loved Us”, The Brother Moves On react to “Ubu Tells the Truth” by William Kentridge. The lack of an effective offer of reconciliation by the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has left a deep sense of trauma in South African society. The Brother Moves On celebrate the TRC as a “Total Refreshment Centre”, a feel-good area. The set-up includes cushions, a masseuse and ice cream, water melons, snacks and drinks for the audience as well as music from the Apartheid era, played by a young generation of artists. The South African band’'s “Songs of Death” are inter-generational love messages from Johannesburg to Berlin.
