Isango Ensemble

Isango's Aesop's Fables is a vibrant and powerful musical by Mandisi Dyantyis and Pauline Malefane with a script by Peter Terson.

Although Aesop is portrayed as a Greek the production is set within the recent history of South Africa. Aesop was historically a slave and in Peter Terson's script he 'learns that liberty comes with responsibility' as he journeys to Mount Olympus meeting his animal characters on the way.

Hackney Empire and Eric Abraham present The Isango Ensemble production of Aesop's Fables adapted and directed by Mark Dornford-May with music by Pauline Malefane and Mandisi Dyantyis and choreography by Lungelo Ngamlana.
