Letsatsi Dance Theatre of Botswana gave a spectacular performance that left the audience begging for more at Maitisong on Friday when they performed their piece, 'Celebration of K.' The group, which collaborated with Mogwana Traditional Dance group, also performed on Saturday.

The performance used dance and conversation to address pressing issues such as youth employment, HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancy, passion killings, corporal punishment and other issues affecting communities on a daily basis. The group  added more flavour to the show using dance to tell this story, set in a village where boys and girls sit under trees and carry out their normal activities.

Here, they engage in a debate about issues that hinder their country from succeeding. Each character in the performance represents points of view that are usually held by people in society. For example, characters represented people in everyday life who hold hypocritical stances, are ignorant, ambitious and even the misunderstood who are often those who are rejected by society.  The character who brought some of the audience to tears was that of K played by Bontle Mogwera. The plot is centered around her, whom society rejects because she is a dreamer aspiring to make a success of her life.
