Gcina Mhlophe reflects on her 33-year journey as a storyteller
If you enjoy a good story and want to be caught up in the incredible life journey of SA storyteller, Gcina Mhlophe, at The Rhumbelow Theatre in Durban on Monday, 10 August.
DON’T miss the Women’s Day special production titled My Travelling Bag by Gcina Mhlophe at The Rhumbelow Theatre in Durban on Monday, 10 August at 2pm and again at 6.30pm.
In this show, Gcina reflects on 33 years of suitcases bought, stamps in her passports, friendships, missed flights, mementos and memories.
“From a very young age I got to travel all over my home province, KZN. From my hometown, Hammarsdale, to Port Shepstone, to Dundee, to Nongoma, they all seemed like such faraway places. I thought I was the most widely-travelled young person ever. It felt great. But my beloved grandmother, Gogo, sounded a word of warning: ‘There is a bigger world out there’. Those were wise words indeed,” said Gcina.
She said nothing tops the joy of sharing the stories of her people on world stages, the magical universality of these stories, proving once and for all that people are more alike than different.
