Nutcracker in the Kalahari desert It's danced to Tchaikovsky's famous score, but it's not your traditional Christmas Nutcracker: the Joburg ballet sets it in the Kalahari desert, with rock paintings and ostridges, and Clara is not lead by the Sugar Plum Fairy but by a sangoma or traditional healer. "Nutcracker re-imagined" is on from September 19th until the 27th at the Joburg Theatre. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
