Fatherly ties in satire

MARKET THEATRE: 'FATHER & I' BILLED TO RETURN FOR SECOND SEASON

- Citizen reporter

The heart-warming and beautifully crafted Naledi-nominated dance-theatre piece, Father & I, returns to The Market Theatre for its second season after four performances in November last year. This year, the show runs from next Thursday to 31 August, before taking part at the Jomba! Contemporary Dance Festival in Durban.

Father & I uses personal stories, dance, song and music to explore the relationships between South African fathers and their children, acknowledging the complexity and beauty of fatherly relationships, with all their imperfections.

It is choreographed by Moving into Dance's artistic director, Sunnyboy Motau, with music by Bongile Lecoge-Zulu and Matthew MacFarlane.

It is directed by Greg Homann of The Market Theatre Foundation.

The dynamic fusion of real life stories from the cast is created between The Windybrow Arts Centre's 2024 Kwasha! Theatre Company, The Market Theatre and Moving into Dance.
