We Must Eat Our Lollipops with the Wrappers On

T0486049676
This work is a startling reflection of one of the most serious threats to Africa's future; HIV/Aids. A taboo subject, the title comes form the popular idiom from the Townships of Johannesburg to teach people about safe sex. Although dealing with a serious topic the performance is laced with humour and charm as it dazzles with Orlin's trademark ingenuity of narrative, dance and song. Using live video relay and projections, the 15 strong cast of South African performers transport us to a South-African township.
