The Hungry
CREATED & PERFORMED BY ELLIS PEARSON & BHEKI MKHWANE
PRESENTED BY SUE CLARENCE PROMOTIONS
A circle is drawn. People are gathering. Two magic men are present. Something is going to happen … …. There are glances ….. sounds ….. and the energy is increasing. Slowly, an extraordinary world is conjured in the hears of everyone there. It is the world of Sinako village. A stranger appears. Why has Mr Pumpkin Man invited him? The Great Prophet is angry. Nxaloti, the quiet one, goes mad. Ma Gumbi and her friend, Florence, betray the village and things will never be the same again.
We are creative artists who are driven by the need to explore powerful issues. In THE HUNGRY we look at the relationship between Africa and the West. Many people feel that the West is the saviour of Africa. Western civilisation arrived and brought with it its religions, its political systems and its technology and has taken away its people, its culture, its raw materials and its spirit. Is the West saving Africa? Or, in the end, could Africa help to heal the West?
