Castaways is an ensemble physical theatre and circus work in which a ragtag collection of characters from different worlds are thrust together on a tiny raft and forced to reckon with themselves and each other in their desperate dance for survival. GUY BUTLER AUDITORIUM GUEST: DANIEL BUCKLAND - Director Castaways The work takes a magnifying glass to the body in crisis, using physical comedy, clowning and puppetry to establish and explore archetypal characters, and circus arts to push these characters and their relationships to the brink of calamity. The vessel becomes a microcosm for the struggle for survival and meaning in a divided world on the edge of social and environmental collapse.

J Bobs Tshabalala’s Khongolose Khommanding Khommissars (KKK) is a look through the keyholes into the living rooms of pot-bellied men as they plot to hog state resources, all while preparing mispronounced speeches to the poor – keeping them helpless. None of us is safe. RHODES BOX Directed by the Theatre Duo – Billy Langa and Mahlatsi Mokgonyana GUEST: BILLY LANGA - Standard Bank Young Artist for Theatre GUEST: MAHLATSI MOKGONYANA - Standard Bank Young Artist for Theatre This epic satire is a theatrical take on the conspicuous interactions and not entirely lawful activities of our modern day South African political camaraderie – Comrades. The play dissects the deliberate and interwoven manner in which the collaborative dealings between politicians and businessmen contribute to contemporary South Africa’s current chaotic political dispensation, as well as its perpetuation of an elitist culture of greed through the practice of corruption, utilizing the “game of words” or what one might call, “Comrade-speak”, that continuously reinforces the farce of socio-political revolution that is repeatedly promised to us, the masses. The Theatre Duo’s emblematic approach to storytelling, their constant and intrinsic incorporation of text and movement, alongside their focus on interdisciplinary collaboration promises to make this a “must-see”. Don’t miss out on this collaboration between three Standard Bank Young Artists – The Theatre Duo and playwright J Bobs Tshabalala. #lekgotla23 Billy Langa, dancer, actor, playwright, and educator Billy Langa is a graduate from Trevor Huddleson Centre and the Market Theatre Lab. Langa takes a curious approach to theatre – puzzling out what it means to those who perform it and those who witness it – that’s deeply relational to the body. A recent interest of Langa’s is the presence of language, and how it fits into the physicality of theatre. Mahlatsi Mokgonyana prizes, above all else, the inherent truth in a piece of theatre, and the resultant impact it has on its audiences. Born in Dawn Park in the East Rand, Mokgonyana is a writer, poet, director, and the co-founder of theatre collective The Movement RSA. His interest in education and the arts led him to direct My Children! My Africa! which came at the height of student protest action in South Africa in 2016. His accolades include the 2017 Cape Town Fringe Fresh Award for Directing and the Naledi Theatre Award for Best Production.
