SIGN LANGUAGE FOR MUSHO!

One of the productions at this year’s Musho! Festival of one and two person theatre will have an on-stage sign language interpreter making it accessible for deaf and hearing impaired patrons.

Bru – which takes place on tomorrow (January 14 at 18h00) at the Catalina Theatre will be signed. This is a first for Musho!

Bru is a physical theatre comedy which takes the pursuit of happiness to the surreal levels of the extreme. Join two surfer dudes as they escape the purgatory of the concrete jungle of Jo’burg in search of the freedom of the waves. This fun romp is a high-energy physical theatre fusion with a pair of talented young actors. It is written and directed by Josh Martin, and performed by Sandi Dlangala and Mikey Frederick von Bardeleben. Running time 50 minutes and is suitable for ages 12 and up.
