The Alexander Bar, Café and Theatre will host BLARE, a solo dancing poem devised and performed by playwright, director, actor and choreographer Mpapa Simo Majola. A show that pays homage to the feminine and the ancestors, BLARE was written in collaboration with Sanelisiwe Yekani, Mpolokeng Chabane, Isah Ngalo. BLARE is the physical theatre narrative of a man carrying stories and songs of women who died trying to find a prayer to mother God. These women now live and speak through Blare, still trying to find a prayer to Shesus. The show aims to speak to a deep understanding of the feminine, hoping to move beyond generic gender debates to celebrates the feminine, supported and enhanced by the masculine in a way that honours women. At a time when South Africa is plagued by the murders of women, BLARE aims to reveal a way to move in the world, a way to listen, and a way to respond without inflicting pain. Both women and men across all cultures can learn from this beautiful dancing poem.
