The Brother Moves On Live in Europe

Performance band The Brother Moves On will embark on a 16-stop, 12-city European summer tour titled OORKANT TWENTY16 from 7 July to 4 August. It will be the first European summer tour by the art and music collective (after four winter tours), and will include the prestigious Berlinfestspiele’s Foreign Affairs platform. This year Foreign Affairs pays homage to South African art giant William Kentridge and the Brother Moves On have been invited to create a work in reaction to Kentridge’s 1996 work Ubu tells the Truth and to headline the premier of Kentridge’s play Ubu and the Truth Commission on 14 July.
The tour will also see the band curate 100% SA music parties in Berlin (Germany), Paris (France) and London (UK) in an effort to engage the spaces they visit about the vast amount of South African music and art there is available online for purchase.
On Mandela Day (15 July) the band will give their 67 minutes in honour of the great humanitarian Nelson Mandela by giving workshops and playing at the Grand Hotel Cosmopolis, a refugee hotel in Augsburg Germany which houses 60 refugees who work at a music cafe and bar.
