Theatre maker and artist Julian Hetzel will premiere his new performance SPAfrica during SPRING 2023. Using water as conflict material, SPAfrica explores how closely racism is linked to capitalism. In collaboration with South African/Swiss performer Ntando Cele and Utrecht-based musician and producer Frank Wienk, he combines theater, music and video.

SPAfrica is, like previous productions by Studio Julian Hetzel, a co-production with SPRING. Since our collaboration with Julian Hetzel in 2014, our festival programmed several of his confrontational and high-profile productions. In May 2022 There Will Be Light could be seen on stage, in which the equivalent of a basic income was given to one person.
