As a symbol of the anti-apartheid struggle, the high-energy dance Pantsula is still part of cultural life in various communities in South Africa and embodies the boldness of youth worldwide. Impilo Mapantsula will make the Ebertplatz vibrate with virtuoso Pantsula steps on Saturday: In the midst of the Saturday hustle and bustle of the city, the dancers will radiate a great deal of energy and a touch of freedom and resistance.
