What a joy when these three power houses came together in 2006 to create and nurture Womantide, performing to full houses at the Labia, Kirstenbosch and the Baxter. The trio re-united for the Cape Town Festival in March this year. Womantide invites you once again to be moved, to be comforted, to rejoice, to sing and dance with original indigenous songs and poetry, in a production that will leave you feeling proud to be African, proud to come from a woman…for weeks to come!
