Ama-Piece – Piece – Nyana

25 - 26 May 2019 Ramolao Makhene Theatre

J. Bobs Live will premiere his new show at the Market Theatre for three days only 24 - 26 May 2019. The production is a bridge between straight theatre and a fascinating multi-disciplinary production that will infuse elements of a game show.

J. Bobs is an established artist who is known for his popular sketches and a style that allows him to experiment with material that is not mainstream. His new and exciting multi-disciplinary work will showcase a new cultural wave of interactive theatre that is intended to inspire a new generation of artists.

He has chosen the Market Theatre Laboratory as a beneficiary for the premiere of his new work, Sort-Of-Kind-Of-Like-Academic-Ish-Nyana-So-Yabo?

“I recognize the role that the Market Theatre Laboratory plays in empowering and developing young theatre students to harness their craft, skills and talents”, says J Bobs.

The box office proceeds from his show will go towards a bursary to cover a fulltime student’s fees for one year.

‘It takes true courage and vulnerability to chase your dreams and express your passion to the world. A career in the performance industry can be one of the most daunting realities”, he adds. “I want to play a part in making it a little easier for at least one student”.

Ungoyiki. Kuzaba robust in engagement, kuthi combust in flavourment. Kuthi Huuuu!

The exhibition’s title, Bôna, is a Sesotho word with a double meaning. As a verb, Bôna means to “see”. When used as a pronoun, the word translates to “them”. Sekgala’s photographs evoke this title through the responses they elicit from the subjects in the work and in turn us, the viewers.

FOR ONCE | MILK AND HONEY REVISITED

In 2013 the Market Theatre Laboratory produced a work entitled ‘Milk and Honey’ as part of a reflection on the centenary since the passing of the 1913 Land Act. The ensemble work probed the expansive topic of land and identity. The work found expression in words, in song and in dance.

Emhlabeni

Emhlabeni which loosely translates to earth in English, carries far greater meaning in Isizulu, these meanings are made visible through the nuances expressed in the drawings, painting with coffee to mimic the earth and soil tones and use of vernacular titles.
