Île

This coming-of-age story follows an 18-year-old girl who visits her ancestral
home: Mauritius. A trip to a tropical island to connect with her extended family (and have some fun away from her mother) gets too real as she uncovers dark history and realises that underneath paradise, a volcano is still waiting to erupt. Île is the debut solo play by Sophie Joans, directed by the legendary Rob van Vuuren. It won the Gold Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival in Makhanda and had a sold-out run at the Homecoming Centre (former Fugard Theatre) in Cape Town.
