The most awarded play at the 2023 Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards, Contested Bodies scooped the awards for Best Director, Best Performance by an Ensemble and Best Costumes Design, alongside nominations for Best Production and Best New South African Script.
Hailed by the press as “a flawless piece of theatre…a riveting play…a howl for accountability and acceptance…an epic play of marvel, revulsion, rage” this play comes to the Baxter Theatre for a limited season.
Contested Bodies is an exploration of power, race, gender identity and masculinity (both toxic and otherwise) and examines how we relate to the trauma of our colonial past and questions who we remember and why.
