Drama Queer: Rudi van der Merwe: Lovers, Dogs and Rainbows (SWI)

Lovers, Dogs and Rainbows is a documentary and performance project about heritage and identity. Rudi van der Merwe, who was born and raised in Calvinia (South Africa), now lives in the city of Calvin (Geneva, Switzerland).

In an attempt to place his personal history in a broader socio-political context, the project is an attempt to take stock of the good, the bad and the ugly of his upbringing and what remains of it after twenty years of repeated visits to the people and places of his youth.
