About the Festival

Begun in 2008, INFECTING THE CITY (ITC) is a festival of provocative new site-specific national and international performance and public art works. Presented by The Africa Centre, ITC is curated by Brett Bailey. In 2010, ITC took place from 13-20 February 2010 and turned the Cape Town CBD into an edgy theatre venue that presented diverse, thought-provoking, well-crafted performance works; innovative audience interventions and meaningful installations. The theme of Infecting the City 2010 was ‘HUMAN RITE’.

The annual Festival is presented by the Africa Centre, and is principally funded by Spier. For more information on these two organisations and other funders’ whose support is essential to the Festival, please look at the Partners page.
