"A Day, Across," performed by the CityVarsity School of Creative Arts at the Cape Town Fringe 2014, was a student production that investigated the link between the youth of South Africa and the centennial of the start of World War I. This paper presents a brief analysis of the rehearsal process as well as certain performance sequences in order to unpack the dual application of bricolage and intermediality within a theatrical and pedagogical context. It proposes a learning environment where the embodiment and exchange of images allows the students/performers to enter into a dialogue with history through their bodies.
