Shared History– The Indian Experience in South Africa is not
only a celebration of Indian culture but is also a wonderful catalyst to find
commonality and connections in the shared history of both countries.
The Shared History Festival is sharing two world-class
performances with Durban audiences in the Playhouse Loft: 9 Parts of Desire and Vidya Shah
This year, as a lead up to the United Nations 20th
anniversary of the Beijing Conference on Gender, the festival has chosen to
focus on some of the finest female performers from India. Durban audiences will
delight in the performances of the exceptionally talented Ira Dubey, Lillete
Dubey and Vidya Shah. In many ways, the season could be seen as a continuation
of the celebration of Women’s Month.
The Durban season opens with two performances of 9 Parts of Desire by Heather Raffo on
September 3 and 4. It features rising star Ira Dubey in a tour de force solo performance directed by her mother Lilette Dubey
whom audiences will remember from Monsoon
Wedding and the celebrated Exotic
Marigold Hotel.
Vidya Shah: Women on
Record can be seen in the Playhouse Loft on September 5 and 6 at 20h00. For
