Durban University of Technology presents a modern re-imaging of Sophocle’s great Greek tragedy: King Oedipus

This will take place from May 12 to 15 at 18h00 in the Actor’s Studio, DUT Courtyard.

Laden with incredible imagery and timeless symbolism, the great Greek tragedy: Sophocles’ King Oedipus is given a fresh lease on life by the first year DUT performance students to be staged in the round at the Actor’s Studio, DUT Courtyard Theatre precinct.

Directed by Sikhuthali Oliver Bonga, and designed by Yandisa Taleni, this reimagined DUT staging of King Oedipus integrates first-year performance techniques students, experimenting in bridging historical Greek tragedy with immersive, interactive contemporary creative practice.

First performed around 429 BC, King Oedipus is widely considered one of the greatest plays of Western literature, and the most famous of all Greek tragedies ever written. It has all the elements of an epic modern crowd pleaser in the same vein as Game of Thrones: incest, war, plague, murder, sex, and battles with mythical creatures.

The story centres around King Oedipus of Thebes, who unknowingly fulfils a prophecy that he will kill his father and marry his mother. Trying to end a plague, Oedipus vows to find the murderer of the former king, Laius, only to discover that he himself is the culprit, having married his own mother, Jocasta. Upon realizing the truth, Jocasta hangs herself and Oedipus lives out the rest of his life in exile after gouging out his own eyes in despair.

Bonga, moves the action to contemporary Durban, where the great plague takes the form of our desperate and divisive economic reality. The Theben folk have become powerless in the hands of their proud bourgeois leader. Staged in a space echoing the tragedy of the homeless community living under the bridge at the end of Moore / Che Guevara Road where the social outcasts and poorest of the poor live. Society is divided into the “believers” and the “non-believers” whose empathy, moral compass and ultimately their senses themselves diminish as they witness the decline and undoing of Sophocles’ King Oedipus.

Two commentators, the all-knowing, omnipresent Greek chorus, or court jesters, are two homeless tramps who observe the story unfold with harsh observations disguised as humour.

Stylistically, King Oedipus combines high drama and physical theatre with moments of humour. Bonga experiments with Dr Obakeng Kgwasi’s technique of Bosophytrics which uses body somatic physicality, high theatricality, and African theatre techniques of repetition and sound.

King Oedipus features a cast of almost 60 first years and is presented in English, isiZulu and physical theatre.

It is a companion piece to Lysistrata In the Hood a timeless comedy / drama written by Ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes about war, feminism and the universal power of women, which comes to the Courtyard Theatre at DUT for two public performances on May 21 and 22 at 18h00. Directed by Marcia Mzindle.

 

“Since you have chosen to insult my blindness—

you have your eyesight, and you do not see

how miserable you are, or where you live,

or who it is who shares your household.

Do you know the family you come from?

Without your knowledge you’ve become

the enemy of your own kindred.”

Sophocles.

17TH EDITION OF THE DURBAN FILMMART RESCHEDULED

After careful consideration, the Durban FilmMart (DFM), Africa’s best loved film finance and co-production market, has decided to move its 17th edition to October 9 to 12, 2026, due to significant funding challenges.

The viability of hosting the DFM event in July 2026 has been considerably impacted by the current global financial crisis which directly affects funding for film and the arts in general. Significant changes in key funding partnerships and the ongoing reduction of local year-on-year funding opportunities presents challenges for planning and strategic growth.

The Durban FilmMart Institute, a non-profit organisation, plays a pivotal and significant role in driving African and diaspora film professionals to convene, do business, build relationships, exchange ideas and shape the future of filmmaking.

Magdalene Reddy, Director of the Durban FilmMart Institute, says: “Rescheduling the market has been a difficult decision but one that the board and management had to take because we remain committed to the pan-African film ecosystem we serve. Despite the uncertainty we face with limited long term, multi-year support for the annual event, we believe that the space we create for African film professionals must exist and that it is essential to those who believe in the power and impact of African independent film. We encourage all those who never miss a DFM to move with us and join us in October for what they have come to cherish.”

Those attending this year’s edition are set for a series of uncompromising conversations under the theme: Shifting Worlds: Turning Towards Ourselves. Inspired by the words of Ousmane Sembène, often referred to as the "father of African cinema” who said, “Why be a sunflower and turn toward the sun? I, myself, am the sun,” the 17th edition of the Durban FilmMart will be the space for discussions that advance alternative film funding pathways, revise models for distribution, consider equitable co-production frameworks and create authentic partnerships. DFM 2026 will encourage looking within to forge relationships and design new strategies that will brace a world in flux and endure the economic and social structures that are changing and destabilising the film industry.

An anchor in the international co-production market calendar and with a continued focus on African cinema, all DFM market activities including the Pitch and Finance Forum for live action, documentary and animation, Talents Durban and the Industry Programme made up of panel discussions, masterclasses and think tanks go ahead as planned. Industry, attendees, stakeholders and partners are encouraged to spread the news and show their support by attending the market during its new dates in October 2026.

More information on this year’s theme can be found on the Durban FilmMart Institute’s website, https://durbanfilmmart.co.za/

Delegate registration and programme details will be announced in due course.

The 17^th edition Durban FilmMart is funded by the Durban Film Office, eThekwini Municipality, Ford Foundation and the National Film and Video Foundation.

NEW KZNSA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

On the evening of April 17, 2026, at the annual KZNSA Members’ Award, the President of the KwaZulu-Natal Society of Arts Thobekile Shange announced the appointment of Russel Hlongwane as the organisation’s new Executive Director.

The Council and the operations team of the KZNSA are excited for this new chapter in the KZNSA’s 120-year existence. Hlongwane succeeds Angela Shaw, who served as Executive Director for twelve years (2014-2026), steering it with visionary leadership and securing its sustainability during her tenure.

Hlongwane, a Durban-based cultural producer, brings a wealth of experience and a distinctive practice situated at the intersection of heritage, modernity, culture, and tradition as they apply to black life in South Africa. His multidisciplinary work spans cultural research, film, creative producing, design theory, curatorship, writing, and performance – often realised through installation.

His curatorial and artistic projects have been presented both locally and internationally, with exhibitions and platforms across Europe, Africa, and further afield in the United States and Latin America. Notably, his experimental film Ifu Elimnyama: The Dark Cloud received the Jury Prize at the Sharjah Film Platform in 2019. Hlongwane has also published widely in academic and art journals, and has contributed to panels and symposia on curating and urbanity. He currently serves on the international advisory board of the Prince Claus Fund (Netherlands) and is pursuing an MPhil in Southern Urbanism at the University of Cape Town’s African Centre for Cities.

In addition to his artistic practice, Hlongwane has worked as a consultant with cultural institutions and government departments, focusing on strengthening creative ecologies. His commitment to collaboration and institutional development aligns closely with the KZNSA’s mission.

 

Speaking on his vision for the KZNSA, Hlongwane said:

“My priority is to re-establish an institutional practice grounded in rigorous exhibitions and a considered public programme. I also intend to revitalise the shop and café as destination spaces in their own right. Central to this is ongoing dialogue with partners, funders, staff, membership, and the broader artistic community. I am aware of the demands involved in sustaining work of this kind. It requires sustained collective effort between the KZNSA Gallery and its constituents, but I believe it is achievable. Last but not least, I wish to acknowledge and express my gratitude to all those whose commitment and labour have sustained this organisation and brought it to its current point.”

 

The KZNSA Gallery extends its deepest appreciation to Angela Shaw for her twelve years of dedicated leadership, and warmly welcomes Russel Hlongwane as he embarks on this new chapter with the organisation. Hlongwane will officially start at the KZNSA in May 2026.

 

 

 

DAVE PHILLIPS FOR MONDAYS AT ST CLEMENTS

Monday 4th May, 2026 — 6pm

Table Bookings Essential: RSVP ST Clements +27 62 582 0980

 

Mondays @ Six at St Clements for some chill (and hot) May vibes with Dave Phillips who will tell stories from his erstwhile Durban gig days (Funky’s, Fozzi’s, Cattleman, etc) and share (guitar and vocals) a selection of some of his favourite Leonard Cohen, Jim Croce, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Simon & Garfunkel (plus-plus) numbers.

Dave Phillips was born and raised in Durban. He is a practising senior counsel advocate at the Durban Bar who played on the Durban music venue circuit from about 1980 to the mid-90s and “continued to play on other occasions thereafter…”. He says we can expect “easy listening” acoustic guitar and vocal tunes (covers only), the likes of Jim Croce, Simon & Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen, Doby Gray, David Gray and others.

He will intersperse the songs with reminiscences about his musical journey through Durban, those club-gig days and venues that some of us will likely remember.

It was the legendary Tony Fisher (who most recently, with David Fisher, Blarney and Son, did the fabulous Mondays at Six tribute evening to our late friend, Graham Linscott), who suggested Dave Phillips would be a fabulous choice for a Monday at Six. Happily, Dave said yes. You can follow (and hear) Dave Phillips on Facebook. 

 

About Dave Phillips: Richard Haslop writes:

“When the very young Dave Phillips went to his first guitar lessons, his teacher, none other than ’60s Durban pop star Dickie Loader, told his parents to get him a decent guitar. Fortunately, they listened. They also sent him to law school, but for years, and despite the legal qualifications that would eventually lead him to a most successful career as senior counsel and acting judge, he made the kind of money playing residencies around the watering holes and eating establishments of Durban that other young professionals, without his musical skill, could only dream of. Guitars are still his abiding passion and he knows an awful lot about them.

"More importantly, though, he remains an extremely fine singer and strong player who no longer plays often enough in public.

"That his unerring ear for melody and his ability to put across great songs, whether they be in a folk, blues or acoustic-rock style, so that they always sound fresh, continue to have broad appeal, is obvious from the comments he receives for the performances he posts online from time to time.”   

 

When the donation box is passed around, generosity is requested and a minimum of R50 per person.

Weather permitting, the performance will take place outdoors.

Bookings limited to diners in support of St Clements restaurant and staff.

Single folk are welcome to book for one person and join a table.

Be there in time to open your tab, order at the counter and settle in before the scheduled 18h00 start. Please cancel if you book then can’t make it.

St Clements is in Musgrave Road, Durban.

DR MADALA KUNENE UNVEILS NEW VOCAL COLLABORATION

 

(Dr Madala Kunene. Pic supplied)

 

Dr Madala Kunene Unveils New Vocal Collaboration and Cross-Cultural “Twosday” Performance for Africa Month 2026

Celebrated guitarist and cultural icon Dr Madala Kunene, widely known as the “King of Zulu Guitar,” will mark Africa Month this May with a powerful new artistic direction—introducing his daughters as backing vocalists while headlining a special “Twosday” collaborative concert on May 5, 2026, at the Centre for Jazz and Popular Music at UKZN.

This performance signals a significant evolution in Dr Kunene’s live presentation. After many years of performing without active vocalists on stage, he now welcomes a new vocal dimension through his daughters - Melody Kunene, Nontombi Kunene, and Sinothile Kunene—whose harmonies promise to bring a rich, fresh texture to his music.

The full ensemble for the performance includes:

Band:

Dr Madala Kunene – Guitar

Bernard Mndaweni – Bass Guitar

Vishen Kemraj – Tabla

Sthembiso Ntuli – Saxophone

 

Vocals:

Melody Kunene

Nontombi Kunene

Sinothile Kunene

 

At the heart of the May 5 concert is the innovative “Twosday” concept—an exciting musical platform designed to bring together artists who are well-established in their respective styles, encouraging collaboration beyond their usual creative boundaries. While the name suggests a pairing, “Twosday” also represents the meeting of musical traditions and ideas, often expanding to include a broader ensemble.

The initiative aims to foster experimentation, learning, and the creation of new work that transcends familiar stylistic comfort zones. By cultivating a space where musicians can explore the edges of their performance and composition practices, “Twosday” promotes a vibrant cross-cultural dialogue rooted in Durban’s rich and diverse musical landscape.

A highlight of this collaboration is the pairing of Dr Kunene’s distinctive Zulu guitar style with Vishen Kemraj’s mastery of the tabla, a classical Indian instrument. Together, they create a compelling fusion that bridges African and Indian musical traditions—an embodiment of the “Twosday” ethos.

With Durban home to an exceptional pool of talented and culturally diverse musicians, there are strong ambitions to establish “Twosday” as an ongoing concert series, building on the success of existing initiatives such as the popular weekly Trios series held every Wednesday. Ultimately, the concept offers musicians a valuable opportunity to expand creatively, exchange knowledge, and celebrate a shared musical language.

“This collaboration is about growth, connection, and discovery,” says Dr Kunene. “It’s about stepping into new spaces musically and bringing audiences along for that journey.”

Audiences can expect an unforgettable evening of genre-defying music, heartfelt storytelling, and dynamic interplay between generations and cultures.
