Aldo Brincat’s 'The Moon Looks Delicious From Here' is coming to Joburg for the first time after its massive national and international success.
A semi-autobiographical story about immigration, the play is Brincat’s personal account as a first-generation South African in his family, directed by Sjaka Septembir, with music by internationally renowned singer and songwriter, Bongeziwe Mabandla.
Brincat, plays an array of characters – some foreign, some local – all of whom are finding or losing themselves in the ever-changing political landscape. Language, religion, ambition, sexuality, heritage and political leanings are brought into sharp focus as the characters fight off ‘otherness’, while attempting to assert themselves into a volatile new country.
