What does it mean to be dispossessed? ‘The Eviction’ explores this question through a  devised community based collaboration between the Hai//com Cultural Group in Oshivelo and theater student, Naala Sorrell. The story begins in 1954, to the sounds of the Kalahari veld, where the Hai//om had lived for thousands of years. Called to a //kharas (waterhole) by the South African Apartheid regime, the Hai//om were informed of the eviction, their arrows were burned, and then forcibly relocated to white farms to work, thus, solidifying the eviction of the Hai//com peoples from ancestral land and the establishment of the present day Etosha National Park, the 6th largest game reserve in Africa. The park today grosses over 550 million NAD and the Hai//om eke out a landless life of work on surrounding white farms. ‘The Eviction’ is more than an eviction story of the Hai//om. Through the first hand account of Jan Tsumeb who was 12 years old at the time of the eviction, the story combines loss and longing with  adaptation and a reclaiming of a shared story, finishing full circle with a commitment to cultural survival of healing dance and story and the joy of belonging.
