Description

In keeping with Heritage Month, which South Africa celebrates in September each year, Live, Love and Leave a Legacy challenged audiences to think about their historical inheritance and the legacy they would like to leave behind for future generations. In addition, a symposium included Andy Watson, from UK’s Geese Theatre Company, who presented a lecture-performance of the company’s famous interactive mask theatre work, and Professor Leon Holtzhausen and Venessa Padayachee presented papers on criminal justice and restorative justice.

Two performance items are presented by a company of parolees and University of Cape Town students, and the other by a group of offenders from Pollsmoor Corrections Centre.

The script for the Pollsmoor production was collectively made by the following performers and facilitators:
Fadwah Carelse, Blanks, Bongani Rasta, Cornell Bouwer, Demi, Faatigaah, Jabu, Jodene Cyster, Kwasta, Mimi, Romano Sampson, Sakeenah, Sinethemba Mshudulu, Snow, Thimno and Veronica Baxter.

The script and performance for the parolee production was collectively devised by the following performers, students and facilitators:
Bongani Dyalivana; Boxer Biyana; Matthew Bennett; Merlin Lameyer; Tracey- Jean Geland; Zikhona Madlalisa; Maggi Fernando; Abigail Williams; Gabriella du Toit; Juliette Rose-Innes; Kayla Dunne; Lernice Parker and Lonwabo Notana.
