How did you select a South African play?
FITI:
Mahamba company, led by Dado and Maria was invited to Musho Festival in January. Dadivo has been our partner in this festival and we asked him to see the possibilities of bringing south African company for this festival. Is our aim to extend the possibilities of international participation although our financial difficulties. As we knew from Dadivo, he watched a very good performance during the festival but he decided for one that would encourage our actresses and women director to grow. That is why he selected the one that is 100% percent female production. Of course, the performance itself is very good.
