The UCT Drama Department opens the 2013 student season with renowned Cape Town Director Christopher Weare directing two internationally acclaimed plays by Bulgarian playwright Hristo Boytchev.
THE COLONEL BIRD and THE TITANIC ORCHESTRA, staged back to back in The Little Theatre and Arena Theatres, are intriguing stories resonating both local and universal themes.
THE TITANIC ORCHESTRA is a gloriously mad hour full of existential angst, slapstick clowning and witty words. It is Beckett, Stoppard and the Marx Bros, all rolled into one. Boytchev comments: "An illusion is one of the most powerful things that a human being has; it empowers him to survive."
This sad comedy narrates a story of four abandoned people desperately waiting for a train – life at the railway station becomes full of bizarre occurrences, illusions become real and absurd events from their lives slowly turn into a metaphor of the Beckettean "lost state of a contemporary man". Boytchev’s message: If we believe in illusion, we can change the world, if only our own!
Please note that attendance at these performances, on prior request, includes post performance discussion with the director and cast.
