Here are some of the words and impressions shared by audience members who experienced Phakathi Inside for the first time at Detour Dance Festival:
“It’s rare that I am thinking about a performance for days but here I am. Phakathi Inside is a mystic, spiritual and beautiful voyage that will captivate you and leave you feeling lucky to have witnessed Joanna’s unique gift of storytelling.”
Cianne Denize
“Joannas extraordinary movement skills within slow motion, animation, popping, and waving, bent time and perception, holding the audience in a state of quiet awe during and beyond the performance. “

“Joanna’s solo unfolded like a rupture in time and space - cinematic, otherworldly. I was no longer on Earth. Every muscle in my body seemed to contract and release in slow motion together with Joanna, every emotion rising and falling as if I were moving alongside her spirit.”
