Forgotten futures

The South African Theatre Season 2016 returns to Wits.

In a fast changing world, where economic, environmental, digital and political forces collide, have we forgotten about the people who will determine the shape and nature of the future? Have the South African elders failed the youth?

With movements like #FeesMustFall and #RhodesMustFall, we are beginning to see young people tackle this problem head-on and ask pertinent questions about the failure of the transformation agenda.

The Season aims to provide a serious platform to unpack, disrupt, discuss, rebuild and evaluate contemporary youth realities while providing opportunities for meaningful cross generational dialogue to take place.

It will take the form of live theatre performances, films showings, live music and performance poetry by some of South Africa's emerging young voices within the arts, under the theme, “Forgotten Futures”.

The South African Theatre Season is presented by Drama for Life in partnership with Wits Theatre, Wits School of Arts and Wits Counselling, Careers and Development Unit.
