Performances run 16-19 February 2023.

IYABUYA IPOPArt FESTIVAL | FIREHOUSE Comes to POPArt Theatre This Weekend

Three actors transform a small space and a ladder into a myriad of imagined worlds. Using physical theatre and clowning they tell the stories of fire fighters working in the city of Johannesburg. Fire House is a devised offering, a social X-ray of the stories of three civil servants fighting fires against a backdrop of political instability and fires that cannot be contained.

VENUE : AFDA Red Roof Theatre, AFDA JHB Campus, 41 Frost Avenue, Milpark.

This event is part of the IYABUYA iPOPArt Festival, which is supported by the National Arts Council of South Africa PESP funding.

Review: A Kaleidoscope of Afrikaans Queerness In MY HART IS N MUURBAL (EN ANDER GEDAGTES) Photo
It's 2023 and homophobia in South Africa still rears its ugly head in our cultural landscape far too often. Although on paper South Africa seems to be a haven for LGBTQ+ members, it is still a challenge for many queer Afrikaners to reckon with their identity and feel accepted. MY HART IS 'N MUURBAL (EN ANDER GEDAGTES) presents a celebrative and varied perspective on this experience without sacrificing its entertainment value.
