‘The City of Cape Town is proud to be a sponsor of this festival. Many of the productions invite audience participation, include the viewer in the scene and promote a greater inclusivity in the arts. Infecting the City Sessions is a unique activation of our public spaces and provides a platform for freedom of expression,’ said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Tourism, Events and Economic Development, Councillor Garreth Bloor.
