VIDEO EXCERPT | JERO

As part of his role as co-curator of Season 1, Khayelihle Dominique Gumed created Jero, the season finale and the final post on Season 1.

Based on 'The Trials of Brother Jero' by Wole Soyinka, it is the first of his three “Jero” plays. Gumede's piece was created out of a combination of direct scenes from Soyinka's play; actor, boxer and choir improvisation and an actual boxing match by two rival cruisers.
