- In the spirit of The Refusal of Time, this publication relates the creation of William Kentridge’s new multifaceted work The Head & the Load
- A spectacle-performance exploring the little known history of the African porters who were part of the First World War combining music, dance, acting, screenings, and mechanised sculptures. In the same polymorphic vein as the show, the book immerses the reader in the creative process of Kentridge’s work presenting images of the performance as well as thoughts, maps, sketches, drawings developed along its creation. Collage is at the heart of the reflection building the piece and the book, where several elements and fragments are brought together “to find a provisional history” as William Kentridge explains
- The Head & the Load highlights the political, human and sociological repercussions of colonial history in today’s world. Several essays shed light on the multiple facets of this performance through, first, a historical context by David Olusoga, texts on the making of the show by William Kentridge, composer Philip Miller, choreographer Gregory Maqoma as well as music co-composer Thuthuka Sibisi. In the last essay, Homi K. Bhabha relates the different aspects of colonial history addressed in the show. The Head & the Load has already been presented in London and New York and will travel to the Grande Halle de La Villette in Paris, in 2021

The pooch is on Cloud No 9
Color: Blue
Lucky loves everything about this (blue) octopus. It has squeakers in all the right places and the crinkle sound adds to his fun. He’s almost 70lbs and extremely strong, and can be an aggressive player and chewer. So far, it has held up extremely well for the tug-of-war games and crazy shaking play. It’s well worth the money. I also want to mention that this toy is true to size. I have too often ordered dog toys that turned out to be much smaller than advertised.

Large, excellent toy with many squeakers!
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
This toy is excellent! I’m super happy with this purchase. My dog loves squeakers and there are so many in this toy, plus stuffing for her to rip out, and crinkle paper to take the sensory experience up another notch! It’s also more durable than many other plush-type dog toys, and is larger than expected which is a plus in my book.
For size reference, both dogs are around 40lbs.
I will be buying another as soon as this one is demolished!

Huge and fun. Good for two dogs to play with together.
Color: Yellow
This dog toy is great! And it's HUGE. Each tentacle crinkles, and the dogs love to play tug-of-war with it. It seems to be holding up well, too. It seemed a bit pricy for a dog toy, but it turns out it was worth it.
