Ubom! is back for National Arts Festival 2014 with The Wangai! directed by Andrew Buckland and Noxolo Donyeli. This Lorax-inspired story is a dazzling, clever and action-packed theatre adventure for the whole family.

Ubom! is back for National Arts Festival 2014 with The Wangai! directed by Andrew Buckland and Noxolo Donyeli. This Lorax-inspired story is a dazzling, clever and action-packed theatre adventure for the whole family.

It is an electrically charged, zany, multi-coloured, and flavoursome story of friendship, difference, adventure and magic.

Taking inspiration from Nobel Peace prize winner, Wangari Maathai, who spoke for the trees, Ubom! creates a little hero, “The Wangai”.

Watch as he goes on an ecological adventure with the earnest desire to protect his luscious Eastern Cape habitat from an eager young entrepreneur whose eyes are too focused on ‘Commercial Success’ without regard for the extraordinary natural balance of the environment.

Germinating and growing out of local Eastern Cape history, ecology, culture and contemporary world views, the result is a vibrant, exciting theatre work which can be accessed and enjoyed by children and adults from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.

The Wangai, will be presented at the 2014 National Arts Festival.

Dates:

  • 7 July | 10:00
  • 8 July | 16:00
  • 9 July | 14:00
  • 10 July | 19:00
  • 12 July | 16:00
  • 13 July | 12:00
