ATKV-Tienertoneel se nasionale wenproduksie: Die Kandidaat

The 62nd winner of the ATKV Youth Drama Competition takes a bow on the Woordfees stage. This is the ATKV’s oldest project. Only eight productions qualified for the final round. Join us in celebrating this year’s winner and South Africa’s next generation of talented artists.

When an explosion leaves a young mother and her baby homeless in the small town of Biatłopol, chaos erupts. Three politicians—the trigger-happy mayor Tomczak, the power-hungry Dąbrowska, and the charming Kowalski—are all fighting for the mayoral position. Scandal, betrayal, and dirty secrets make the battle ugly. As corruption seeps in from every corner and dark secrets come to light, Biatłopol stands on the brink of destruction. An absurd comedy about power, lies, and a people who have kept their eyes closed for far too long.
