(TQ Zondi & Mpilo Nzimande)
The Hexagon Theatre
in Pietermaritzburg will present Termite!
this weekend on Friday and Saturday (October 30 and 31). Written by Greig
Coetzee and directed by Peter Mitchell, it will be performed by TQ Zondi and
Mpilo Nzimande.
Can there be
anything more delightfully wacky than the combination of the high energy
performance style of TQ Zondi and Mpilo Nzimande and Greig Coetzee’s brilliant
penmanship?
The delicious and
astute Termite! combines physical
theatre, satire and a dash of lunacy as it blends traditional folk tales with
modern South African life. This fast-paced trilogy of stories tells tales of
various animals as they take on Minicab Taxis, Colonel Sanders and try to
explain why dogs sniff each other’s behinds! This is satire of the most
hilarious and cutting variety.
Fresh from the
Hilton Arts Festival, Zondi and Nzimande have made a name for themselves
nationally as Ovation Award winners for Woza
Albert!, as well as their moving performances in The Island. They are soon to be seen in the annual adult panto in
Durban, Aladdin Grey St.
Termite has
performances at the Hexagon Theatre on the UKZN Pietermaritzburg campus on
October 30 and 31 at 18h00. Tickets R60/40 booked on hexagon@ukzn.ac.za
