(TQ Zondi & Mpilo Nzimande)
The first drama performance
of 2016 at the Schlesinger Theatre at Michaelhouse is the delightfully wacky
Termite! featuring the high energy performance style of TQ Zondi and Mpilo
Nzimande and Greig Coetzee’s brilliant penmanship.
Directed by Peter
Mitchell 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 winning
the coveted Audience Favourite Award at the Musho! Festival in Durban and
having full houses at last year’s Hilton Arts Festival, Termite performers 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 also had rave reviews
for their performances Aladdin Grey St.in the annual adult panto in Durban.
Dubbed as a “family
friendly comedy, but mostly for big people”, Termite! has one fprmance on
February 5 at 19h30 in the Schlesinger
Theatre at Michaelhouse in Balgowan. Tickets R80. Bookings: email Mrs Angela
Jonsson at theatre@michaelhouse.org or call 033 234 1314 (From April 21 -
Weekdays between 08h00 and 13h00)
