Deep in the heart of the township, behind the walls of Egazini Community Outreach Centre is where you will find Ikhaya Theatre Company tirelessly rehearsing its main production to perform at this year’s National Arts Festival.
Riding the wave of last year’s success with My Xhosa where the audience was left in tears,
director Bongani Diko presents The Incredibles: a drama piece with a hint of comedy, romance and betrayal.
The play focuses on Mark Peter (Ayabonga Nqanqeli); an ex-prisoner who comes home to a totally different world after seven years of imprisonment from a hijacking gone wrong.
After their mission failed, the rest of the gang was shot dead and Mark was the only survivor. His girlfriend and friends and families of the deceased suspect that he has the blood money hidden somewhere.
As a result, the trail leads to his stabbing on the fifth day after his release, where he ends up being left paralyzed in a wheelchair. His buddy Matuli (Misumzi Thomas) who used to visit him in prison seems to know more than everyone else but no one is listening.
To find out what happens next book a ticket to watch The Incredibles at Egazini Outreach Centre, where the play will be on every day of the Festival.
“We promise our audience a stormy Festival experience that will make them spin. We have new talent, upcoming directors and great actors who are highly professional,” says the enthusiastic Diko.
