This
one-man show chronicles a man’s determination to compose music despite
suffering from hemiplegia, a total paralysis of one side of the body, and
succeeds because of his unwavering nature. Though the character also loses the
use of one part of his brain, he still pushes through the emotional pain
barrier and manages to compose songs through sheer willpower.
The
performance is energetic and emotionally intense. It highlights the
fact
that life is not for the faint hearted, but that obstacles can bring out an
inner energy we are unaware existed.
“The
show was good and the message was positive, it would have been better if it was
presented in English,” said theatre goer Sikhumbuzo Manyathi. Despite the
moving storyline the show has repetitive moments that become tedious to watch.
The language factor is also another problem, as many do not understand
Afrikaans.
