A stirring performance art piece called 'Waking Time' comes to life with a selected group of performing artists in the Fountains on Heerengracht Street, Cape Town, South Africa. This performance is part of the Spier Performing Arts Festival for 2008 and sees various local artists joining together under the name of 'new collaborations'. This collaboration puts together the talents of Ruth Levin, Tanya Pixie Johnson, Mduduzi Nyembe and Mamela Nyamza amongst others to form a dreamlike play on consciousness. The piece tells about the struggle between dreaming life and waking life and how we are put off balance when our waking selves and our dreaming selves are out of touch with one another. The ultimate message that permeates through this evocative piece is that we need to align these spheres of ourselves and let them converge so that we can experience inner harmony.
