Seiphemo Motswiri delivers a compelling performance in 'Words & Nightmares', which he also penned.
“Words & Nightmares” at Theatre on the Square is a highly recommended choice for anyone seeking a poignant show.
This production is written and performed by Seiphemo Motswiri, the multi-award-winning and internationally acclaimed theatre maker, and is directed by the inimitable Themba Mkhoma.
The narrative revolves around a journalist gathering accounts for his upcoming book on geopolitical conflicts. Throughout this process, he grapples with his personal demons while deeply empathising with the war victims whose stories he documents.
Through this journey, he confronts the devastating reality of conflict and the widespread helplessness it leaves behind. Ultimately, he must separate himself emotionally from the narratives to preserve an objective viewpoint.
