Hear Be Dragons is a performance project bringing people together to map the sonic landscapes of their lives. This unique experiential education project investigates the ways in which sound and the urban environment influence our quality of life, our perception of history and memory, and our notions of identity, place and time.The title Hear Be Dragons plays on the medieval saying “here be dragons,” which denoted unchartered territories – often believed to be the home of dragons or other mysterious phenomena – on maps. Hear Be Dragons aims to awaken its participants auditory senses and give them the tools and language to capture and document the unexplored territory of sound. A collaboration between youth from Langa, SA and youth from Brooklyn, NYC was shown at National Sawdust, New York City in 2016. An intergenerational performance was shown at The Centre for The Less Good Idea, Johannesburg in 2018.
