The original text
The work is a highly audio-visual experiential piece about the Anglo-Boer War, and specifically about the experiences of women in the British concentration camps. The work has been described by critic Nico Luwes[1] as constituting a ritual about the cruelty and horror that war enacts on a dehumanized humanity, a work relevant to all countries steeped in warfare.
The text published by Protea Boekhuis in 2015.
