MAXEKE

MAXEKE is a new puppetry and object theatre production that brings the words of intellectual, activist, and artist Charlotte Maxeke to life. Audience will get to reimagine our collective future in new ways. Directed by Itumeleng wa Lehulere, MAXEKE is brought to us by the Centre for Humanities Research (CHR) at the University of the Western Cape, in collaboration with the Ukwanda Puppets and Design Collective. The show is based on an original script by Buhle Ngaba with musical direction by Neo Muyanga, puppetry direction by Aja Marneweck, and projection design and creation by Kirstin Cummings.

The production premieres at the Star Theatre at the District Six Homecoming Centre.
The production forms part of the ASSITEJ "Take a child to the theatre" campaign, and as such, we invite all sponsors and audience members to consider buying tickets for children and young people to gain an understanding of the vital heritage of this iconic woman. #Takeachildtothetheatre
