Within every tree, every river and every creature on this Earth, each of our stories are infinitely told. They whisper our names in the wind and beg that we listen more closely to what we used to know but have recently forgotten. Directed by Kyla Davis. Designed by Godbish Bishedi. Featuring Mandla Moyo, Khutjo Green and Cebisa Fubesi. Winner of a 2014 Standard Bank Ovation Award.

Well Worn, Jungle and Seka Theatre Companies, 3 leaders in their field of ecological advocacy and social activism through theatre, collaborated for the first time across Southern Africa to bring you an outdoor African eco-play with sunset performances daily in the Rhodes Botanical Gardens at the 2014 National Arts Festival.
