If you haven’t already seen it, get down to the Standard Theatre tonight to be entertained and charmed by the very quirky Third Person: Bonnie & Clyde (Redux). This show is completely refreshing both in terms of content and performance style. HIFA – more of this kind of theatre next year please! And if the gorgeous actress Gillian Lees is single, please get hold of me.

Later on I went to see Icons: Ziya Azazi. This was a provocative and challenging dance experience. Perhaps a bit too avant-garde for Zimbabwe judging from how many people left the performance. The changes in choreography were very subtle but beautiful and the music (or sound) was very ragged in places. I was completely thrilled to have had the opportunity to see this show.

Note: The only downside to today’s performances was the fact that women in this country seem to use toilet air freshener as perfume.

Zimbabwe’s Kubatana is very pleased to be represented by Brenda Burrell at UNESCO’s media gathering in Tunis this week. Brenda is one of 5 fellows invited to attend on behalf of the Knight Foundation. The other 4 fellows come from South Africa, Kenya, Argentina and Egypt.
