Return Of The Ancestors Pick Your Brain Challenge!

Return Of The Ancestors Pick Your Brain Challenge!
Why is democracy not working well in South Africa?

What should be done to make it work better?
If Steve Biko were a rapper which South African rapper would best describe him?

How is democracy affected by education?
Can democratic elections and decisions be lucrative and assure a sustainable (socio-economic) development of the quality of the general education?

MIKE VAN GRAAN'S RETURN OF THE ANCESTORS COMES TO

MIKE VAN GRAAN'S RETURN OF THE ANCESTORS COMES TO JOHANNESBURG FOR THE FIRST TIME!
Onalerona Collaborations in association with The Market Laboratory brings Zimkitha Kumbaca's interpretation of Mike Van Graan's Return Of The Ancestors from the 12th of March to the 4th April 2020.
South African director, Zimkitha Kumbaca @zimkitha_sa and her cast of two, Katlego Chale @katlego_chale and Tshepo Bugzito Seagiso @bugzito012 tackle the dilemma of what it means to live in a time of political uproar and unaccountability. Return Of The Ancestors genuflects to Woza Albert, a South African theatre classic featuring two actors. In Return Of The Ancestors, two struggle icon - Steve Biko and Neil Agget - who died in apartheid detention, are sent back to South Africa during 2014, twenty years after the first democratic elections, to see whether the sacrifice of those who have gone before, has been worth it. They travel through the country, on their way to a celebration that culminates in Nkandla, taking in the country sights, sounds and experiences of ordinary South Africans along the way. "We are very deliberate in how we choose to tell this particular story; from characterization to directing and artistic choices. This play confronts current South African issues and in addition to that, we're saying, let's talk about today's generation from today's perspective and strike a much-needed dialogue that will encourage necessary activism" - Zimkitha Kumbaca.
The play probes and jabs at the current political climate in South Africa; highlighting the desperate need for an honest dialogue amongst South Africans.
Throughout the piece which is fairly direct and critical of much about contemporary South Africa, there are short, satirical news reports of under the banner "The Good News Story", with the actors playing reporters telling ironic "good news", sunshine journalism stories.
Premiers tomorrow, 12th of March 8pm, at the Ramolao Makhene Theatre, Market Theatre Square.
Tickets 🎟 : R150 (webtickets) for more information and bookings please contact Thozama Busakwe(Inhouse Marketing Assistant) at thozama@marketlab.coza
