Amawethu is not just a performance, but a profound exploration of who we are as a people, rooted in our culture, customs, and spirituality. Through storytelling that seeks to rectify and reclaim our narrative, this captivating piece sheds light on the distortions that have plagued our understanding of ourselves, dating back to the times preceding the African slave trade.
At its core, Amawethu is a revival—a call to rediscover the wealth of character embedded in our customs and way of life. It offers a powerful opportunity for the black child to reconnect with their heritage, to appreciate their roots, and to embrace the beauty of their identity.
Performances will be between the 3rd and 5th on May hosted by Lesedi at Joburg Theatre.
