Written and performed by iainEWOKrobinson, Seriously? forms part of the Expressions Sessions Festival hosted in collaboration with the Drama and Performance Studies Programme (University of KwaZulu-Natal – Howard College Campus), Life Check and Celebrate Durban.
Directed by Karen Melissa Logan, Seriously? has already had two sell-out seasons at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown and a very short but sold-out run as part of the New Stages at the Playhouse. This season marks a welcome return of a masterfully crafted and deeply personal spoken word encounter with self and the world,.
Seriously? is a show about finding your own space, finding your own place, discovering individuality and then showing others how to do the same. Rooted in a tell-tale narrative of a white boy growing up in 80s KZN and finding that he doesn’t quite fit in till he stumbles upon ‘The Universal Zulu Nation’; and then all hell breaks loose! It is about calling for the creation of a society that thrives on individual expression and creativity.
Director Karen Logan includes her live video mixing as part of the visual flavour of this spoken word classic.
