Renos Nicos Spanoudes chats to actor, Yamikani Mahaka-Phiri, playing the role of Dino in Calling Us Home
Renos Nicos Spanoudes chats to actor, Yamikani Mahaka-Phiri, playing the role of Dino in Calling Us Home. Calling Us Home is an unforgettable, epic musical, fraught with danger, saved by love. Follow leading lady Grace (Devonecia Swartz) from her homeland across the sea, and into a land full of new adventures where she finds friendship, heartbreak and love. Be moved by the soaring music, drums that pulse the heartbeat of a continent, and by an amazing journey that will sweep you from the plains of Africa, across the sea, to the icy North of an American city.
Calling Us Home is a story that tells of a great love, but it is also one that humbly yet firmly touches on some of humanity’s big issues, such as the plight of refugees, the many challenges women face and the need for greater empathy, understanding and care in an uncertain world.
Playing the lead role of Grace is Cape Town based Devonecia Swartz, with the roles of the American leads Rafael and Isabella being performed by Míchel Alejandro Castillo and Monica Tulia Ramirez respectively, both residing in New York, USA. They are ably supported by (in alphabetical order) Thokozani Jiyane (Nelson); Mthokozisi Emkay Khanyile (Ivan); Yamikani Mahaka-Phiri (Dino); Nobuntu Mpahlaza(Mother); René Setlhako (Lindiwe); Hanna So (Angie) and Micah Stojakovic (Ben).
