Porselein at the South African State Theatre
PORSELEIN is back due to sold-out houses and popular demand!
From multi-award winning director, Quintin Wils, comes this next exciting production especially created for the South African State Theatre.
PORSELEIN follows the lives of a modern gay couple and how they deal with the topic of domestic violence in an idealized South Africa where there is no discrimination of any sort. The production further takes a look at both the lives of the abuser and the abusee and flashes back to why they make the choices they do in their lives.
The production of PORSELEIN received rave and 4 – 5 star reviews during its first run in March at the South African State Theatre and was described as “…a masterpiece!” Breytenbach (Die Reviewer) and “…breathtaking… a production that is worth watching and that needs to be seen by as many people as possible all over South Africa”! Mensah (Artslink).
Director and designer of the production, Quintin Wils, says that PORSELEIN is by far the most exhilarating show that he has ever directed, but adds that “…it is by far the most thought-provoking production that I have directed thus far! A production that makes you evaluate your own thoughts and idea’s around what domestic violence actually may be. “We changed the audience seating of the audience so as to give them a surreal engaging experience as if they are peeking into the lives of the characters.”
If Wils’ previous innovative cutting-edge work is anything to go by, then PORSELEIN, produced by VNA Productions in association with the South African State Theatre, is sure to keep on breaking boundaries!
PORSELEIN is showing from 28 September – 8 October at the South African State Theatre, Arena Theatre. Tickets at Computicket.
