The Salt Lesson, written by Sibuyiselo Dywili and directed by Anthea Thompson, is a poignant exploration of identity and familial relationships. The narrative revolves around a young Black man grappling with the complexities of his estranged white father, who suffers from dementia and has forgotten him. This play delves into themes of race, fatherhood, mental illness, and the painful question of what it truly means to be remembered or forgotten. It is part of the Baxter Zabalaza Theatre Festival, marking a significant celebration of South African storytelling and artistic expression.
