Some shadows never leave us. Some loves never let us go.
Uthunzi Lo’Thando arrives at the National Arts Festival 2026 in Makhanda, an intimate one-hander stage play following Jeff, a man caught between love, loss, memory, and the haunting echoes of his own choices.
Through monologue, silence, movement, and immersive soundscapes, the production unpacks vulnerability, resilience, and the emotional weight of the past. As the story reaches its devastating climax, Jeff is left alone with the consequences of a love that still lingers in the shadows.
Featuring a powerful creative team from Mpumalanga’s growing theatre landscape, Uthunzi Lo’Thando continues the province’s bold contribution to contemporary South African storytelling.
