Written and performed by interdisciplinary artist Aldo Brincat, the 70 minute theatrical memoir has already earned top accolades in 2024, including a Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda, and the Special Jury Award at the Bitesize Theatre Festival in London.

Described as “a masterclass in writing and performance” by the Bitesize Festival jury, The Moon Looks Delicious From Here is an intimate, character-driven work that explores themes of identity, sexuality, heritage and belonging through the eyes of a first-generation South African.

Brincat, who is of Mauritian, Egyptian and Maltese descent, draws on his own life growing up in apartheid-era South Africa in the 1970s and 80s.
