Same Different

Same Different

Poetry Shortfilm

 

Same Different is a rare encounter between Khoekhoegowab and a still camera. The poem, written and performed by artist Ques, together with the sounds of the bow and the forest, move along the sun, the wind, and the spirit of the poet herself.

All Khoekhoegowab is also spoken in English. It is intentional not to use any subtitling to not interrupt the rhythm of the poem, and create a sense of relation with Khoekhoegowab.

Ques (Nesindano Namises)
is a Windhoek based performance poet and vocalist. Formerly part of the afro-funk/soul duo, Blend.

Co-produced by Ques (Nesindano Namises) & Maria Cecilia Reyes
