Federico Garcia Lorca’s Blood
Wedding will have performances in Pietermaritzburg at the Hexagon Theatre
from June 7 to 11.
“To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest
punishment we can bring on ourselves”, so says Leonardo, a former suitor, to a
bride-to-be on her wedding day.
In this contemporary reimagining of the classical play, the
unleashed torrent of passion and vendetta culminates in a dance of death
combining music, movement, poetic storytelling, surrealism and brutal realism.
Under the direction of Tamantha Hammerschlag, the cast of
postgraduate and undergraduate students of the Drama and Performance Studies
UKZN is joined by professionals Ntokozo Madlala, Hazel Barnes, Marcus Henning,
TQ Zondi and Mpilo Nzimande. Designs are by Peter Mitchell, music by Bernard
Kisbey-Green and choreography by Paul Datlen and Pumelela Nqelenga.
Blood Wedding runs
at the Hexagon Theatre on the University of KZN Pietermaritzburg campus from
June 7 to 11 with performances at 19h00. Tickets R60/R45 available at www.webtickets.co.za or follow the link
