| Forward we go, says one of the protest songs of Apartheid South Africa. And South Africa has gone forward, leaving its past behind. But this show, in which five black South Africans tell their own stories, is about realising that in order to embrace the future fully, you have to understand the past and how it shaped you. These five actors are part of South Africa's lost generation, people whose lives span the Apartheid years. Growing up, they experienced racial classification and forced removal, violence in the townships, resistance and oppression. They tell their stories, often speaking directly to the audience. Rich a cappella singing in a variety of languages intersperses each scene. - Scotsman | |||||
