adminSouth Africa Council of Churches as part of a tour earmarked at reaching out to Zimbabweans abroad, diplomats, civic society, religious leaders, artistes and journalists in Johannesburg running until Sunday. Last Sunday the play was performed in Eastern Cape at King William’s Town for the Steve Biko Foundation Centre.
“These performances are coming at a time after politicians have represented or misrepresented their party interests and the Zimbabwean situation. As artistes, we are coming in with a theatrical representation of the effects of the politically motivated violence of 2008 and how communities have tried their own healing and reconciliation processes,” Daves Guzha, the producer of the play, said.
Written by renowned Zimbabwean playwright Stephen Chifunyise, the play stars Mandla Moyo, Zenzo Nyathi, Joyce Mpofu, Silvanos Mudzvova, Chipo Bizure and Rutendo Chigudu. The play is presented with live music from Gibson Sarare and Joshua Mwase.
“Rituals” is an inspiring theatrical piece which has been well received by the Zimbabwean populace during its 100 performances tour in Zimbabwe.
It has received critical acclaim from both theatre fans, artistes, critics and enthusiasts in not only Zimbabwe but Kenya and Zambia when it started its international tour which will cover the United Kingdom in August 2011.
