Event information
Reaxenia is a satirical drama that uses journalism and political allegory to examine power, truth, and the fragile state of a nation. Directed by Tshiamo Maloka and performed by an emerging ensemble of actors, the production forms part of the Young Professionals series, which showcases graduating theatre work from early career artists.
As a potentially explosive newspaper article is about to be released, the play follows a group of characters navigating a society on the brink of upheaval. As journalists, political figures, and public voices collide, the story unfolds in a fictional world that reflects familiar tensions between authority, information, and accountability. Through satire and political commentary, Reaxenia asks whether words alone are powerful enough to reshape a society, and what responsibility comes with telling the truth.
