What does it mean to be a good man in South Africa today? How do we grow from boys into responsible caring men? How do men engage with power without resorting to violence?

These are the questions that are explored in Passage, an exciting new collaboration between the Baxter Theatre Centre and Magnet Theatre. Directed by Thando Doni (graduate of the Magnet Training Programme, Zabalaza Theatre Festival Best Director winner and recipient of the GIPCA emerging director’s bursary), one of the most inspired, energised and creative directors in South Africa at the moment, and performed by 5 new talents on the Cape Town stage, Passage goes to the heart of the crisis of violence against women in South Africa.

Passage not only explores the values, assumptions, fears and behaviours that allow such violence to be perpetrated but investigates, in our multicultural context, how boys transition into men. Looking at the rites of passage that boys undergo in South Africa to move from childhood to responsible adulthood, the production points to actions that men can take to redefine and reconstruct a positive notion of male masculinity.
