Droomwerk

ABOUT

Petrus droom oor sy voorouers in ’n hospitaal vir geestesiekes. Sy stammoeder, Diana van Madagaskar, soek haar verlore dogter. Sy oupa Piet, ’n apartheidsenator, herleef sy toesprake op sy doodsbed. Kan Petrus versoening in sy familie bewerkstellig, of is hy eintlik te siek om tussen werklikheid en droom te onderskei? Droomwerk is met die 2021 ATKV-Woordveertjie vir beste nuwe teks bekroon. Die samewerking tussen regisseurs Kanya Viljoen en Lwanda Sindaphi beloof ’n unieke teaterervaring.

Petrus is in a facility for the mentally ill and dreams about his ancestors. His progenitor, Diana of Madagascar, is looking for her lost daughter. His grandfather Piet, an apartheid senator, relives his speeches on his deathbed. Can Petrus bring about reconciliation in his family, or is he too ill to distinguish between reality and dream? Droomwerk was awarded the 2021 ATKV-Woordveertjie for best new text. The collaboration between directors Kanya Viljoen and Lwanda Sindaphi promises a unique theatre experience.
