A Theatre Passe Muraille digital production
Written & Performed by Samson Bonkeabantu Brown
Directed by Tsholo Khalema
Where the spirit world and the real-world meet, lies a world unapologetically crafted and performed by critically acclaimed trans identified artist, Samson Bonkeabantu Brown. 11:11 explores the other side of fear through the eyes of a young, Black transman struggling to understand the ancestral messages saturating his dreams.
Some pages from the design presentation below:
"Wardrobe will be rich with colourful and textured fabrics layered with neutral basics. Costume changes will happen on stage during scene and character transitions. Other costume elements will include masks to illustrate the dialogues between Amandla and the ancestors Gogo and Avo."
Quick change solution: 2 costumes in one!
Behind the scenes look at the building of the ancestral masks:
Materials - recycled brown paper bags, glass beads, rope and burlap
