Lime Light on Rites
Lime Light on Rites is a dance work that explores how the media, through marketing and publicity, exploits people’s emotions.
As death is big business in South Africa there is great social pressure to have big funerals and this is compounded through the advertising and marketing strategies that play on the poor and the weak communities.
