Children of the Mist  The Ikhapara dance done by the Khoi Khoi people is one of the oldest dance forms of indigenous South Africa. Traditionally performed as a circle trance dance around a fire, the Ikhapara dance is still performed until this day. Its modern version has elements of colonialism as the accompanying instrumentation includes guitar and violin, and the outfits adorning the dances are commonly known as ‘working class clothes’.

The Lilliput Children's Theatre Company is currently touring to schools in the Cape Peninsula. We are available to perform at schools, pre-schools and crèches until the end of December 2010.
