“More Sweetly Play the Dance” (2015) by the South African artist William Kentridge (born Johannesburg, 1955) is a work that combines video, animation, drawing, music and performance to create an immersive and multidimensional experience. It is a notable example of how Kentridge explores themes of history, politics, memory and identity, using a visual language that mixes the ephemeral with the permanent and the tragic with the optimistic.
In this personal allusion to Plato’s cave the artist evokes migratory movements caused by outbreaks of war, quests for utopias or climatological threats. The use of multiple projections, the choreography of the figures and the incessant music create a sense of continuous flow, as if human history never stands still.
