“I am I” comes to Izulu theatre

After a successful run at the Catalina theatre at the end of last year, “I am I” is due to be staged at the Sibaya iZulu theatre on February 7 and 8.
Combining actuality with entertainment, this engaging drama mixes various elements such as puppetry, silhouettes, physical theatre and contemporary dance movement to portray a complex plot.
A matrix narrative of a young Indian man`s life experiences from birth to present day, the gripping timeline chronicles various episodes of his upbringing in a conservative South-Indian family and how he triumphs life`s greatest battles through self-discovery and ambition.
“I am I” touches on a variety of sensitive human issues such as adolescence and substance abuse, from which a range of emotions such as sadness, fear, anger and happiness are evoked.
The unusual play comprises three principal characters, each portrayed by skilled and enthusiastic performers Gyendra Sooriah, Eugene Shezi and Paroshen Sooriah. The play also features Indian contemporary dancer, Avishka Mothiram, renowned for her work at various Bollywood stage musicals in Durban.
Tickets are priced at R100 and are available through Computicket.
