That Boy Has No Shoes

A performance at Homecoming Centre in Cape Town. 20 - 23 March 2025.
Created and performed by Lara van Huyssteen.

Following on from a four-star run at Camden Fringe 2024 and Voila! Theatre Festival 2024 in London, THAT BOY HAS NO SHOES comes to Cape Town. This ‘moving retrospective’ about early Apartheid is a unique encounter with four South African artefacts who appear onstage to tell the audience about their experiences from 1940 to 1976. An axe, an eviction notice, a passbook, and a camera will share what they witnessed, telling stories of who they saw, what they did and where they were left behind. Combining verbatim text with storytelling, the result is 'compelling' and 'powerful'.
