THE CHILL ZONE

Guest: Palesa Mazamisa - Show Director

The Market Theatre has curated an undoubtably intriguing season of productions to

celebrate Women’s Month with I Am A Woman and Ruined.

Every year in August, our country marks Women’s Month, where we pay tribute to

the more than 20 000 women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956

in protest against the extension of Pass Laws to women. Women’s Month allows us

as society to gauge how far we have come in transforming society, particularly the

unequal power relations between women and men.

Nqobile Sipamla, Mzansi’s favorite actress returns to the Market Theatre to give a

performance of a lifetime in I Am A Woman which premiers Tuesday 19 July to

Sunday 14 August 2022.

We now live in an era where streaming is how we all consume TV, thanks to companies like Netflix and Hulu, which have established a very distinct way that consumers consume creativity and a very specific way that people develop stories. We have a binge culture, which almost mandates how quickly television makers and production firms must create to fulfil demand. We're having a think about the business of television in its current form, where it's going, and whether or not you know, and that also speaks to consumerism, consumerism culture, which inevitably is dictating content, which inevitably is dictating how she'll be able to do her job to the best of her ability. ability or not, you know, given whatever resources that she might or might not have in an organization like and SABC.

The Drowning Eye is a little-known play by Frantz Fanon, written in 1949. Part love poem, part surrealist narrative, and part philosophical treatise, Fanon’s play reads as a testimony to the power and possibilities of love as an act of resistance. This contemporary reimagining of the text explores the edge between love, shadow and violence. Tamara Guhrs and Stacy Hardy join forces with KwaSha, the Market Theatre Lab and Windybrow Arts Centre, to present this work at a time when Fanon’s writing has new relevance for a generation of young South Africans questioning the limits and possibilities of revolution today.

The Drowning Eye is performed in the midst of the exhibition, Revolutionary Love, which seeks to explore the role of historical loves within revolutionary movements. Both works are made possible by funding from the French Institute South Africa (IFAS) and Mazarz, with additional research supported by the Neubauer Collegium for Culture & Society, University of Chicago.
