We are proud of the extraordinary plays by the emerging playwrights which were showcased at the Suidoosterfees in Cape Town. These playwrights were part of our mentoring programme in 2020 under the guidance of Abduragman Adams. We offer this project in partnership with NATi, Suidoosterfees and Artscape. Here are some of the scenes, as seen through the lens of Gys Loubser.
