Middel: Noord & suid

Met Aidan Davies, Lukhona Mkunyana

Deur die gebruik van nieverbale kommunikasie, veral brabbeltaal en beweging, illustreer Middel/Middle hoe verhoudings gevorm kan word wanneer woorde misluk. Die stuk verken temas van ’n magstryd, verhoudings en konflik, aangevuur deur liefde wat ongesê bly. Noord (die Wonderlike) en Suid (die Dankbare) maak vir die eerste keer kontak met mekaar se wêreld. Dit lei tot chaos, verwarring en belaglike pogings om mekaar te saboteer. Noord probeer om sy oorheersing af te dwing, maar Suid kelder sy pogings met ’n dwase probeerslag om hom te beïndruk. Die twee karakters moet leer om mekaar se verskille te verstaan en te respekteer, terwyl hulle getrou bly aan hulself. Die stuk fokus daarop om dikwels moeilike konflikte tussen individue op ’n verstaanbare manier vir jonger gehore uit te beeld.

With Aidan Davies, Lukhona Mkunyana

This story shows how people can connect without using real words. Instead, the characters talk through gibberish and playful movements. It’s about friendship, arguments, and trying to get along, even when things get messy.

North (the Great) and South (the Grateful) meet each other for the very first time. At first, everything is wild and confusing, and they make ridiculous efforts to sabotage each other. North wants to be the boss, while South tries to impress him, but it doesn’t always work out. As they spend more time together, they learn that being different is okay. They discover how to respect each other and still stay true to themselves. Their adventures show younger audiences that people can solve problems and understand one another in fun, dynamic ways.
