Out
of Context comprises four site specific works
devised and performed by 2nd and 3rd year students from UKZN Pietermaritzburg’s
Drama and Performance Studies department.
Incorporating various styles of performance
ranging from Absurdism to Physical Theatre, the cast explore universal themes
with a twist, in a series of original vignettes.
What would happen if Sarah Baartman
returned in 2017? How do we translate grief from a language we don’t
understand? When life leaves us feeling like we’ve missed the proverbial boat, performing
roles removed from how we feel – how do we find comfort or rescue? And finally, land, a heavily contested and
emotionally pertinent issue– how do we stake our claim? Why does it matter?
Directed by Louise Anne Buchler, Out of Context runs from October 23 to 25
in sites located in and around the Hexagon Theatre on the Pietermaritzburg UKZN
campus. Admission is free with limited seating in one of the venues. The show
starts at 18h30.
