The Life Esidimeni tragedy rocked our consciousness as a nation. The rainbow nation had again faltered and instituted unbelievable suffering and pain in the lives of its citizens. Siyambonga Mdubeki and his troupe of actors have been able to recount the collective traumas of all the families who lost their lives in the height of this investigation. Through delicate storytelling, beautiful prose and truly dynamic scenes and prop-work, this cast has gifted the victims of the tragedy their humanity.

ISILILO is a mix of comedy, absurdism, physical theatre and dramatic prose.
It is an extraordinary example of contemporary South African theatre and the dynamism with which our local practitioners treat their narrative and performative responsibilities. It is also a deeply South African story in form and content.
