Happy Birthday Tata!

This Mandela Day The Steve Biko Foundation says let us play a part in building the South Africa that Nelson Mandela and many other freedom fighters envisioned not only on this day, but throughout the year.

The Foundation also shares a quote from former president Nelson Mandela;

"It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. I knew as well as I knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed. A man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. I am not truly free if I am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as I am not free when my freedom is taken from me. The oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity."


Have a happy and reflective Mandela Day!

Magnet Theatre Presents: Voices Made Night

Magnet Theatre in association with The Steve Biko Centre, an initiative of the Steve Biko Foundation, presents;
VOICES MADE NIGHT
Adapted from the short stories Vozes Anoitecidas by © Mia Couto, originally published by Editorial Caminho.

Mia Couto's wonderfully imagistic tales confront head-on the difficulties facing post-colonial societies in the process of transformation. They offer unique insights into the psychic damage, which has been the legacy, both of colonial history and the wars of de-colonisation, but there is no sense of hopelessness or despair in the work as a whole because of the immensely creative manner in which the stories are told and the rich and creative life of the imagination of his characters.

When one first read Couto's stories one is struck by the visually exciting metaphoric images that provide perfect material for Magnet Theatre’s physical style of theatre. Couto’s writing and Magnet’s style is a perfect match. The language is dense and multi-layered providing ample opportunity to tease out the images in the physical space of the theatre in a profound and arresting way.

Voices Made Night reflects all of Magnet Theatre’s orientations as a company – a focus on creative, innovative and sophisticated African theatre which engages with their present condition in Southern Africa; a commitment to developing theatre that consistently challenges form, the roles of theatre, its reach; the prioritising of the body and the physical image.

Magnet Theatre is strongly focused on youth development, running a fulltime Training and Job Creation programme in Cape Town and Community Arts Development in the Cederberg Municipality and Cape Town Townships.
This year marks 25 years of Magnet Theatre producing innovatively exciting and critically engaging theatre.

For this production Magnet Theatre is supported by the Steve Biko Foundation, Arta Cape and the University of Cape Town.

Performances at The Steve Biko Centre (Weir Hall, Ginsberg - King William’s Town) are presented by Magnet Theatre by arrangement with Literarische Agentur Mertin, Inh. Nicole Witt e. K. Frankfurt am Main, Germany.
