Camissa Heritage Tour retraces South Africa’s colonial past and it’s connection to the Netherlands. We tell the story of our Indigenous communities, the 'San' and 'Khoi’, who inhabited South Africa’s landscape dating back thousands of years. These communities resisted the scourge of the settlers and refused to work for the Dutch East India Company (VOC).

This site-specific performance adapted for theatre takes the audience on a route within The Castle of Good Hope and other significant sites. Through this artistic and educative project, we bring an awareness to the narratives of the Indigenous People of South Africa, the history of slavery in the Cape and colonisation by The Netherlands to attention. When we remember we reconnect with who we are. CAMISSA, a place of sweet waters, its presence reminds us that water still serves as the source for cleansing and healing.

The Camissa Heritage Tour intends to impact and engage audiences by changing their perspective on experiencing history, heritage and culture through performance. Directed by Luke De Kock Supported by #CoCreateSANL (Netherlands Consulate & Embassy in South Africa) and Artscape.
