FOR GENERATIONS

Kurt Egelhof returns to his home town with show that explores the mind.

Kurt Egelhof, who has made good in far-off fields boardrooms and cities, returns to his home town of Durban to share his long-awaited triumphant return to the stage.

Having received rave reviews throughout its tour, For Generations is an exploration into the state of mind that exists in every single one of us. It is tempered by the ancient rhetoric: Who Am I, Where Do I Come From, and Where Am I Going?

By presenting the work in a dramatic narrative style, For Generations attempts to engage its audience enough to invoke 'their own' personal narrative, to embrace an own version of their own stories. The men from our lives, our fathers before us who through their own very real hopes and dreams, opened the universe in preparation for our arrival, may have passed on too early, with too much information unshared before we were able to receive it.

And in this time, when the image of men as role models for their sons on how to become a good, decent upright person seems to be at an all-time low, comes a wave of inexplicable insight from what must be an inexplicable source: the sound of our forefathers' voices coming up from deep inside of us. This is how the piece was made, as Kurt tried to listen to his ancestral voices from beyond the grave.

Presented in association with TheatreBIZ, For Generations, is also the story of Everyman and Everywoman. A story worth telling, it is performed by Kurt under the skilful direction of Nic Fine.

For Generations runs at Catalina Theatre from April 9 to 25. Tickets R75 (R45 pensioners and students) there are BUY 1 GET 1 FREE performances on Saturdays at 17h00 and Sundays at 14h00.
