If theatre (and the arts in general) is your drug of choice, festivals, and in this context the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees (KKNK), fed the addiction perfectly. https://t.co/OJLgCcg9P0

Gaza tonight. When the skies are lit with terror. Never forget the “civilized nations” that claim to be “peacemakers” governed by “international law” that manufactured this genocide. Shame.

Here is my reflection on Isidlamlilo, an important piece of theatre given that highlights our need to keep fighting. Otherwise we risk the fate of erasure. Make time to go watch it @MarketTheatre The show closes on the 6th August. #MadibaSays https://t.co/TN6loUqnG5
