Four Fathers: Bananas for the Baboons

Two young boys are on a quest to find their father. Along the way they encounter surreal events- finding themselves inside an exploration of Southern African history.

The narrators of the play visit three periods to make sense of the current landscape in an attempt to learn from the past. They discover that men are at the forefront of these battles, begetting the questions: where are the fathers and how has colonialism, with its offspring of apartheid and migrant labour contributed to the absence of black fathers?

The story is performed in isiXhosa, isiZulu and English, with English surtitles.
