Event information
The multi-award-winning 1995 production, 'Faustus in Africa!' - a collaboration between the iconic South African artist William Kentridge and Handspring Puppet Company - is a remarkable blend of art, theatre, puppetry, and music.
This is a tale for the ages, including Kentridge's animations alongside a score by the late Warrick Sony and acclaimed James Phillips, with puppets from the company best known for its worldwide hit, War Horse.
Expect a riveting mix of classical theatre, with timeless sentiments and modern touches. The play is based on Geothe's classic tragedy Faust, with elements from Bulgakov's satiric novel The Master and Margarita, in addition to the ironic poetry of Lesego Rampolokeng.
Directed by William Kentridge, this is a play that remains as relevant to new generations of viewers since its original runs.
