Today on The Lunch Break, we shine the spotlight on one of Durban’s most dynamic theatrical exports — the brilliant Aldo Brincat. A true multi-disciplinary artist, Aldo’s journey has spanned across film, stage, and screen, with his talents as an actor and writer celebrated both locally and abroad.

Currently captivating audiences at Johannesburg’s iconic Market Theatre, Aldo stars in ‘The Moon Looks Delicious From Here’ — an award-winning solo play that sees him embody a vivid array of characters in and around a fragile nuclear family. This emotionally rich and masterfully executed performance has already earned international praise, including the Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award and the Special Jury Award at London’s Bitesize Theatre Festival.

Join Varshan as he chats with Aldo about his creative process, the stories behind the stage, and what it means to tell deeply personal stories that echo across cultures and continents.
