Ek is nie Danie

A one-man show based on Danie Marais’s four books. Albert Pretorious tears to shreds the fabric of a terrifyingly ordinary life with much irony and wry humour, drawing from failed marriages in the outer reaches of Germany and the privileged mess of middle-class South Africa. This is a tale of parenthood, the search for belonging and the attempt to make sense of a past that chokes the present. The text is a selection from poet Danie Marais’ four poetry collections: In die buitenste ruimte (2006), Al is die maan ‘n misverstand (2009). Solank verlange die sweep swaai (2014) en Ek en jy bestaan nie (2024). Don’t be shocked if you understand everything. Because it is disturbing.
