"Lulu Mlangeni’s new dance piece, CONFINED, is inspired by the life political stalwart, Winnie Madikizela Mandela, affectionately known as Mam Winnie. In CONFINED, Lulu brings under the spotlight the lives of women who embrace challenges, break societal barriers and fight oppressive systems to survive. The work celebrates women who have endured discrimination, hardships in their lives and who inspire and provide optimism about the future." 

The design of this poster takes influence from the piece and its narrative. The lines running across the design, combined with the smoke represents the actual restraints placed on the lead dancer as she struggles her way to victory. The copper effect on the title of the piece serves as a visual representation of victory through struggle.
