Modise Sekgothe
I am a South African poet, vocalist and percussionist who explores the fusion of poetry with music, theater, and visual arts. My practice thrives on collaborative and individual explorations, pushing the boundaries of poetic expression and its contexts. My thematic focus delves into the spiritual and existential aspects of the human condition, intertwining personal narratives to contemplate love and its intertwining with loss.
This piece emerged from the Ukrainian folk song about creation of the world. The first take of the recording is the one you hear in this composition, with the production and percussion added afterwards. Few weeks later, with the encounter of the poet from South Africa, we invited him, as his spoken word feels like embodiment of the real man on our planet who speaks about real problems. What we want to speak out loud is the future that we leave for children, especially in the regions touched by war and socio-economical problems.
