In conjunction with The Broad’s special exhibition, William Kentridge: In Praise Of Shadows, on view from February to April 2023, What Beautiful Space Tomorrow featured a performance by curator, mentor, and frequent collaborator at The Centre for the Less Good Idea, Bongile Gorata Lecoge-Zulu and a screening of Kentridge's short film Second Hand Reading.

Taking place on Saturday 18 February, attendees had the opportunity to participate in a “mad chorus” using Kentrige’s rubrics on view in the exhibition and seen in Second Hand Reading and inspired by Lecoge-Zulu’s performance of Godot-logue in LA, a site-specific iteration of Godot-logue in Gauteng, created with Calvin Ratladi and first performed for The Centre’s 5th Season in 2019.

In addition to the performance, there were audience activations and discussions led by Founding Director of The Space for Creative Black Imagination Raél Jerro Salley with Black Lives Matter co-founder and Crenshaw Dairy Mart co-founder Patrisse Cullors, interdisciplinary theater scholar and practitioner Zachary Price, The Broad’s Curator and Publications Manager Ed Schad, and Lecoge-Zulu.
