DUT Drama and Production students are gearing up to showcase their latest production, After Isimangaliso #FreedomDay

 The Drama and Production students at DUT are gearing up to showcase their latest production, After Isimangaliso (After the Miracle), which delves into the themes of democracy and hope. Created, devised, and directed collaboratively by Dr. Tanya van der Walt and Dr. Tamar Meskin, along with Mduduzi Mtshali and Zenneth Cibane, this production explores South Africa's journey from the hope of transitioning into democracy to the disappointments faced 30 years later.

Drawing inspiration from the works of Antjie Krog and Athol Fugard, as well as materials from the archives of the Denis Hurley Centre, After Isimangaliso is a thought-provoking piece that challenges the audience to consider the country's current state and the potential for a better future, especially for the youth.

Part of the Challenging Indifference series, hosted by the Denis Hurley Centre, Diakonia Council of Churches, and DUT Drama, this production aims to spark conversations about democracy and social justice.

The theme of challenging indifference was also explored in the annual Good Friday Service and will continue to be unpacked in The Bridge, a virtual pilgrimage leading up to the national elections.

Don't miss the opportunity to catch After Isimangaliso at the DUT Courtyard Theatre on May 6, 7, and 8 at 18h00.

Tickets are priced at R50 (R20 for students) and can be purchased through the secretary Bawinile. Join the conversation and be part of the journey towards a more hopeful future for South Africa.
