(Poster for “Twelve”)It’s the end of the world, but who’s to blame? Rhino poachers? Jacob Zuma? Cell C? You?
Award-winning Durban actresses Mpume Mthombeni and Shika Budhoo perform Dhaveshan Govender’s comedic take on Armageddon. Will you run, hide or pray? Where will you be when the sun goes out?
At Twists Novel-Script Project 2010, Dhaveshan Govender was selected Best Writer, winning him a spot at the National Arts Festival Fringe this year. Twelve is Govender's latest offering and will premiere at Dicks this festival.
Two friends with one water bottle are running through the final days in South Africa, looking for salvation in a map with the old street names. At the same time, Jacob Zuma is looking for his BlackBerry, while Mama just wants to watch Desperate Housewives ... What would you buy at the final clearance sale at the end of days to survive the apocalypse? The story of Twelve is presented in Twelve chapters and no information is based on fact, they are merely fictitious situations created by the mind of Dhaveshan Govender.
Twelve runs at Dicks in the Monument during the National Arts Festival on July 1 at 10h00; July 2 at 18h30, July 3 at 16h00 and 22h30, and July 4 at 18h30. Tickets R50 booked at festival box office or Computicket.
