African Gumbo 2022

The CTDPS is proud to join UCT, the South African Government and the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) as we celebrate Africa Month during the month of May and present African Gumbo 2022.

We make sure to commemorate what Africa has achieved since 1963 and the founding of the OAU. This year's African Gumbo 2022 explores the notion of Um[u]ntu. What is it to be humane?  What are the values in humanity today when hatred, disharmony and war are so pervasive? By exposing some of the social ills that are experienced by wom[a]n on our continent through theatrical pieces, we are aiming at creating a platform for rich conversation to combat such injustices through interrogating and sharing the complex dynamics of life and gender imbalances.
