The Red Mango Arts Festival is set to return to Sastri College in Durban from July 22 to 25 for its second edition, following the successful launch of the event last year.
Founded by acclaimed South African actor, playwright and director Rajesh Gopie, the festival is presented in partnership with Sastri College, Red Mango Creative Arts NPC and the Sastri Alumni Association.
The festival aims to create opportunities for artists, audiences and communities through theatre, music, storytelling, cultural dialogue and artistic collaboration.
This year's programme will feature theatre productions, music concerts, spoken word performances, heritage-focused events, youth development initiatives, industry discussions and international collaborations. The programme places a strong emphasis on contemporary South African storytelling, intercultural narratives and themes of humanity, identity, social justice and healing.
