Mamela

Mamela (‘Listen’) features a gropu of remarkable young women from the Eastern Cape of South Africa; and explores the opinions, experiences and aspirations of those born toward the “born-free” generation.

A fusion of European and African theatre, this cutting edge, verbatim piece is moving personal testimony and storytelling, fused with traditional African song and dance.

In addition to this professional performance, the Mamela company will be working with young people from Newham as they create their own verbatim theatre pieces.
