In 1972, at the height of the apartheid struggle in South Africa, when the government had silenced the non-white majority and racial tensions were reaching a breaking point, a group of artists risked everything to build a safe space dedicated to all freedoms-artistic, social and political. "The Space", born from the horrendous efforts of the government to silence all non-white South Africans, became the Theatre of Survival for all artists voices no matter the colour of their skin. The ground-breaking work of these brave artists reverberated worldwide at a time when the price of their artistic freedom was incarceration or death. Their refusal to stay silent in the face of such danger helped shape and change the landscape of injustice for the better.
