- 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

Work great, no morning groggy, made in USA
Flavor Name: Peppermint
These make me sleep like a baby! I am 52 and often could not turn my brain off to go to sleep or stay asleep at night. About 30-45 minutes after taking these my head hits the pillow and I’m out! I take 3 tablets / 15 mg. No groggy feeling in the morning. My previous experience with melatonin had been gummies - 10-12 mg and did not work as well. Taste was also inconsistent. These are a nice peppermint, like the circle-O candies we ate as a kid. A little chalky but not bad. They don’t dissolve as fast as I thought but directions say ok to chew so then they dissolve very quickly. I also like that company is fully USA for development and manufacture. Many of gummies are not. The tablet format is also very convenient to pack for travel. I have not tried full pill format by any manufacturer.

Like the dissolvable feature
Flavor Name: Peppermint
Cardiologist recommended one tablet nightly 30 minutes before bed to protect the lungs from covid. His other recommendations were standard protocol. Had never heard of this but know that melatonin is supposed to help with sleep. Had tried melatonin for sleep, at higher strength, but effect wore off after a week. Suprisingly, this seems to help with sleep as well. Large count at reasonable price.

Sleep aid that helpd.
Flavor Name: Peppermint
I purchased these because I understand that the natural production of melatonin decreases drastically after the age of 40. I have been using another brand that much more expensive for a lower dosage.
I read the other reviews and decided to give these a try. I have been taking them for about 30 days. I think, I have a good understanding of the pills.
It appears that the other brand had a more consistent effect. They sublingual and you would feel drowsy after about 20 minutes. These are slow desolve and take effect after 30 minutes or so.
My only issue was consistency. I would say that 90% of the time I would be drowsy. Once or twice a month they would have a minimal effect. They are a stronger dose, 5 mg versus 3 mg of the other product. They are less expensive and they work most of the time.
