From The Outer Loop Theater Experience, comes "Sizwe Banzi is Dead" by Athol Fugard, John Kani and Winston Ntshona. Sizwe tells the story of a man ordered to leave the district simply because he lacks the proper permit. Instead, he trades his name for a number, and begins life as a dead man… wreaking havoc with his identity, and his sense of right and wrong. Delicately balancing humor and pathos, the work offers both a psychological history of the apartheid nightmare, and timeless parables of the dehumanizing paradoxes of power.
