Joburg Theatre proudly presents Dancing the Death Drill, a powerful stage adaptation of Fred Khumalo’s award-winning novel.
Set in Paris in 1958, the story begins with a shocking double murder and unfolds into the haunting tale of Pitso Motaung, a South African soldier whose life was forever changed by the tragic sinking of the SS Mendi in 1917.
Directed by James Ngcobo and adapted by Palesa Mazamisa, this moving production blends drama, music, and dance to explore forgotten histories, resilience, and the legacy of black South African soldiers in World War I.
