Since it was first performed in 2016, Echo of a Noise has continued to surprise. Audiences around the world are captivated as Pieter-Dirk Uys shares his story. As he has learned, every performance is the first and the last – because every audience demands and receives a different energy, relevance and excitement.
At the age of 81, it is not his successes that drive him, but the small signposts that have subconsciously always pointed him in the right and original direction: his father, Hannes Uys; his mother, Helga Bassel; his grandmothers; his teachers; his passions – Sophia Loren, censorship, false eyelashes, and making a noise when others insist on silence.
