Arts Correspondent

It is a project from collaboration between EDZAI ISU Theatre Arts Project and Heal Zimbabwe Trust. EDZAI ISU Theatre Arts Project will this week stage their much-awaited play “After Flashbacks and Setbacks” at Theatre in The Park. The play on healing and reconciliation is written, produced and directed award-winning theatre practitioner Tafadzwa Muzondo and choreographed by Gibson Sarari.It will run for two days on May 27 and 28 at Theatre in The Park and it will première at Zimbabwe Hall in Highfield tomorrow as part of Africa Day commemorations.

“After Flashbacks and Setbacks” is a proactive play on healing, peace and reconciliation from the eyes of ordinary Zimbabweans. It is aimed at raising community awareness on the proposed National Peace and Reconciliation framework and peace and reconciliation thus advancing a community-driven approach to national healing, peace and reconciliation.

It is a powerful fusion of drama, dance, poetry and music that looks beyond the flashbacks and setbacks, emotions and frustrations, individual interests and political resistance, questions and suggestions to a live platform where people decide what healing and reconciliation means to them considering their particular circumstances.

The play features Mbizo Chirasha, Brezhnev Guveya, Julius Julius, Muzondo, Livius Chitsungo, Charlotte Munyanyi, Samantha Ndlovu and Charles Biniweri.
