Presented by Dodgy Clutch in association with The Market Theatre of Johannesburg & Newcastle Theatre Royal
A wonderful visual feast for all the family with multi-talented dancers, storytellers and musicians from the UK and South Africa.
The story surrounds Chief Zanenvula, a good man and respected by his tribe, who has just died and been forbidden entry to heaven. Distraught and uncomprehending he calls on his ancestors. "Go back, look at your past", they tell him, "take a glimpse into the future. What do you see?" As Chief Zanenvula reviews his life and his actions, he slowly begins to understand how he has offended the spirit of Africa and how he can redeem himself.
An enchanting story celebrating forgiveness and humanity or ‘Ubuntu’ told through magical puppetry, brilliant acting and wonderful songs.

Saw this show in Newcastle on Sat 1st March - there wasn't one aspect of it I didn't love. I thought it was a seamless, enchanting performance, and would recommended it highly for lovers of dance, song, storytelling, physical theatre, etc, etc.
