7inch Stilettos "finale" directed by Thabiso Sbani Radebe is a play that showcases at the Courtyard Theatre on November 10, 2024.
“It focuses on sexual violence and victimisation and carries a strong message of tolerance, and human rights. Above all, it reminds us of the need to understand one another, whatever our differences. It is worth seeing,” says Thabiso.
"We are confronted with choices every day. Sometimes we get them wrong, and sometimes right. Wrong tends to sting more than right satisfies. Bad and good decisions can get even thornier to make when they get more personal, involving ethics and morality.”
The play portrays the experiences of Joyani Asiphe Maqa, a 30-year-old homosexual who chooses a path that destroys him.
He flees home after his family has been murdered. Living on the streets, he gets involved in gay sex trade, drug use and murders. His choices become a burden to him as he seeks a better path but his life has come to an end as his rivals have finally found him, he now has to fight for his life.
7inch Stilettos has a performance at the Courtyard Theatre, DUT, on November 10, 2024, at 14h00.
