ABOUT
A coming-of-age story about mothers, daughters, and volcanic islands. It’s less a family tree, more a family house plant that’s grown too big for its pot! After a couple generations the roots start to get a bit knotty. This story follows an 18-year-old girl who visits her ancestral home, Mauritius. A trip to a tropical island to connect with her extended family (and to have some fun away from her mother) gets too real as she uncovers the dark history and realises that underneath paradise, a volcano is still waiting to erupt. “It’s a hell of a play. The writing is superb. It’s fast, funny, and able to turn on a dime” - Dave Mann. Winner of the 2022 Standard Bank Gold Ovation, Ile is written & performed by Sophie Joans | directed by Rob van Vuuren | produced by Spark in the Dark.
