Popis: The scene is one of great incongruity. A white man, wearing a plastic Roman helmet and sporting huge white foam hands bounds into a group of black children in a squalid township in Natal, South Africa. He is a pied piper, leading them to an open space where a group of Zulu actors begins a performance that both recalls their cultural traditions and confronts their troubled present-day reality. Variations of this scene repeat in Zambia, and with the !Xuu and Khwe Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert.'
