My Children My Africa in Connecticut, USA
"Generational conflict over the most effective means for
ending apartheid in South Africa lead to an explosive confrontation
between a gifted but impatient black township youth and his devoted but
“old fashioned” black teacher … The unexpected involvement of a young
white woman who befriends and learns from both men strips away the
political trappings to reveal the human trauma at the heart of South
Africa’s … tragedy"

"El camino a la Meca, de Athol Fugard, se inspira en una
mujer real, Helen Martins, que se rebeló contra todos los estamentos de su
época. Un ser que persigue el deseo, la luz de la inspiración que no
corresponde a ninguna edad ni a ninguna generación. Alguien que prefiere
las preguntas a las certezas, que valora su libertad y su autonomía
enfrentando a su tiempo y al mundo que la rodea. Al leerla escuche la voz
de Lola latiendo en cada texto. Sin trascendencias flota en el aire las
ganas de vivir con libertad y de hacerlo intensamente. Deseábamos
conformar un elenco con el que el viaje fuera enriquecedor y placentero,
porque todos sentimos que esta será una experiencia del todo
transformadora. Honrado y entusiasmado por este nuevo proyecto que creo
que va a quedar en la mente y en los corazones de los que lo hacemos y en
cada uno de los espectadores que nos acompañen"

"This unusual drama focuses on Miss Helen, an old Boer woman
who lives alone in the South African boondocks, where she creates odd
concrete sculptures, which she calls her Mecca. A young woman who was once
helped by Miss Helen has travelled hundreds of miles to help her in a time
of crisis. Miss Helen is in danger of being sent to an old folks' home by
a narrow-minded minister, who considers her sculptures a public nuisance.
A penetrating study of the role of the artist in any society"

Valley Song in NY, USA
"This is the moving story of an old man’s love for his
dutiful grandchild. Buks’ Jonkers is a poor yet dignified war veteran who
is devoted to his vegetable furrows in a remote South African province. He
is anxious to shield his dreamy, restless sixteen year old granddaughter
from temptations beyond the valley. She is equally anxious to be a singer
in faraway Johannesburg. Her self made songs brim with the longings of
youth. Valley Song is a coming-of-age story about a young girl
seeking the courage to embrace the future while her grandfather searches
for the wisdom to let go of the past"
