Seasoned choreographer and dancer Mamela Nyamza is now floating above being a swan on stage to tackle ugly issues affecting women in the arts space.

Her latest piece titled Pest Control, that opens today at the virtual edition of National Arts Festival, looks at how women are sidelined in the arts.

The speech, delivered in Cape Town in 2018, was about inequality and lack of transformation in the arts. In the performance piece, Nyamza wears a white fencing gear because she says she feels unsafe. In dealing with the miscarriage of justice, Nyamza uses menstrual blood to highlight the point. Nyamza, an art activist, developed the idea of Pest Control on the day she was fired from the South African State Theatre last year.
