We have heard the new-age adage "less is more". This is surely the case with this amazing production about a man who is remembered for his teachings, a man of many words. Biko's Quest is a portrayal of the life and death of one of South Africa's political martyrs, Steve Bantu Biko. It draws its original work from the Steve Biko Foundation's exhibition: "Biko's Quest - for a True Humanity". It translates photography into dance, song and performance.
