Founded by David Binder, a former artistic director at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Powerhouse: International kicked off last month with a choreographed skateboarding performance and continues until mid-December. Kentridge's Waiting for the Sibyl features an original score composed by Nhlanhla Mahlangu and Kyle Shepherd making use of South African harmonies, plus an ensemble of ten singers and dancers performing amid a lively melange of the artist's distinctive animated ink drawings, collages, text projections and sculptures.
