Home in the In-Between - Performing Home, Language and Identity

Nomakhwezi Becker – Nomakhwezi Becker

Nomakhwezi Becker presents an intimate reading of her poetry alongside excerpts from Holding Ground, a multilingual performance work that explores home, memory, and belonging across distance. Drawing on her South African and German heritage, Becker weaves English together with traces of isiZulu, isiXhosa, and German, sharing fragments of stories, poems, and family memories.

Through poetry and performance, she reflects on what it means to stitch together a sense of home across borders, drawing inspiration from traditions such as South African beadwork and German Blaudruck. This informal sharing offers audiences a glimpse into an evolving body of work focused on storytelling, migration, and the living connections between language, place, and memory.

Participants: Nomakhwezi Becker, Uta Kornmeier (Host)

Nomakhwezi Becker: Nomakhwezi Becker is a South African-German interdisciplinary performer, writer, and facilitator working across theatre, poetry, and storytelling. Rooted in the Southern African oral tradition of Call and Response, her practice explores how performance can foster dialogue, intimacy, and community across borders of language, culture, and geography. She creates in English shaped by Zulu, Xhosa, and German, drawing on “in-betweenity” as a generative space for exploring identity, belonging, and memory. Her performances often combine poetic text, live storytelling and embodied action, treating the body as an archive of story.

A 2026 University of Johannesburg Artist in Residence, her performance works include When Coasts Meet (Ovation Award, National Arts Festival, 2019), Waiting for Lift Off (University of Johannesburg, 2022; published in RSA, 2024), and Holding Ground (Camden People’s Theatre, 2025).
