The festival is geared to offer a platform for artists and arts practitioners to stage their performance works in a professional environment.
Three productions, entitled Just Don’t, Rice and Sisenga Ilala, will be featured in the festival. Each work focuses on important social issues.

Set in a small village of the Amambo Tribe under the rule of chief Colongo, the legend of peace, the play promotes and encourages communication in society.
Directed by Mbheki Mabhida, Sisenga Ilala is performed by Thami Silindana, Bonginkosi Myeza, Lindani Mthethwa, Khetha Mbatha and Phumelela Khawula.
