A musical odyssey across cultures, genres, languages and geographies—one shoe at a time.

Embark on an experimental, metaphysical journey through the African migratory experience with this groundbreaking project from The Centre for the Less Good Idea, co-founded by visionaries William Kentridge and Bronwyn Lace. At the heart of African Exodus are over 80 pairs of shoes—transformed into instruments, tools and markers of the journeys we all take. Each shoe tells a story, navigating the movement of people and their linguistic footprints within the African continent. Culminating with a breathtaking blend of African and Western choral traditions, African Exodus invites you to feel the weight and beauty of a shared human journey, where music, culture and history converge.

An original production of The Centre for the Less Good Idea.
Presented in collaboration with the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain.
Produced in partnership with THE OFFICE performing arts + film.
