Voices from the New South Africa
While watching the fine arts performance of “Ours Was the Dawn: Voices of a New South Africa,” I was little confused. I had heard that this theatrical performance was a married couple from South Africa in contemporary times. I must say that it was nothing that I had expected. I did not expect singing and a story of love. I was expecting to be sad. I thought I’d get depressed over the issues in South Africa, but it was quite remarkably the opposite feeling. Monde and Nomsa Wani who played Ndota and Nomzi in the show, revealed to us a story of one couple. A married couple who struggled through bad times and at the end discovered happiness by finally receiving their own home with electricity. I enjoyed the humorous jokes and the outstanding acting skill. But to be honest that’s really all I partook from the show. I didn’t see how this 70 minute, one act show exposed much about the contemporary South Africa. I learned a lot more about the issues in South Africa by simply reading the pamphlet that was given out at the beginning of the show. I’m not bashing the show at all. It was a very well performed play. I just felt that if I didn’t previously know about the issues in South Africa, I wouldn’t have caught on to what Monde and Nomsa wanted to get across. What exactly were Monde and Nomsa trying to get across? Did they want us to see the contemporary issues in South Africa? If that’s what they were trying to do, they didn’t disclose that to me.
