‘Theodrama’ in Cape Town
In solidarity with International Day Against Homo- and Transphobia, a team of creative artists, directors and coordinators has put together a project, called ‘theodrama’ which brings art, drama and spirituality together. The performance will address homo- and trans- and xenophobia as well as HIV/Aids through storytelling and performance art.

 
“Other” – a sacred journey from exile to belonging
Part 1 in a trilogy of theodramas.
What is “theodrama”? Is it theatre? Is it dialogue? A workshop? Worship? Protest, therapy, circus? Art?
Yes, it is.
Inviting foreigners, queers, heretics, nonconformists, outcasts, misfits & dwarstrekkers. Come and contemplate
liminal experience, explore the “scapegoat” & “other” within; offer your “forsakenness”;
and to celebrate our uniqueness and authenticity.
