MUSHO! THE EPICENE BUTCHER


(Jemma Kahn) 

The Musho! Festival takes place in Durban at the Catalina Theatre from January 16 to 20. 

The Epicene Butcher and other stories will be performed on January 18 at 18h00. Produced by Daddy’s Little Secret (Johannesburg) it is written by Gwydion Beynon, directed by John Trengove and illustrated and performed by Jemma Kahn, with assistance from Klara Van Wyk and Carlos Amato. 

The ancient Japanese storytelling art of Kamishibai (paper-play) is given a profane, hilarious and utterly original revival as Kahn performs seven eclectic stories that take in such divergent themes as heaven and hell, pornography, gothic tragedy and the dream life of cats. “Nothing short of perfect” Artslink. (Storytelling; ages 16+; 50 minutes)
