Insurrections Ensemble Performance | Launch of the Living Rights Festival
Music. Resistance. Solidarity. Hope.
In a world increasingly marked by war, inequality, injustice and division, how do we reclaim our shared humanity? How do we create spaces for solidarity, imagination and the possibility of change?
The Living Rights Festival 2026 invites you to join us as we open this year’s programme with an extraordinary musical encounter.
On Sunday, 15 November, the Insurrections Ensemble presents DEFIANT CURRENTS at the Central Methodist Mission (Greenmarket Square) in Cape Town.
Bringing together musicians from Africa and Asia, the Ensemble moves across musical traditions, combining powerful vocals, strings, percussion, indigenous instruments, poetry and soundscapes.
Featuring Selamawit Aragaw, Sumangala Damodaran, Stephen de Souza, Sazi Dlamini, Asher Gamedze, Pritam Ghosal, Today Kamoyi, Reza Khota, Lungiswa Plaatjies and Ari Sitas.
🎟️ Tickets: R200 per person
