African Sinakho Arts, in Association with The Playhouse Company, is proud to present Thetha Mosadi The Musical. Aimed at breaking the silence about issues affecting women with disabilities, and young women in general, this vibrant new theatre production runs at Durban’s Playhouse between November 17 and 19 2022.

Thetha Mosadi (Speak Out Woman) encourages our society to create a more enabling environment for the voiceless to be heard. This powerful fusion of song, dance and dialogue salutes the Youth and Women of KwaZulu-Natal with disabilities, who have been trained and mentored by African Sinakho Arts and women in general. It is a celebration of freedom of expression which is a legacy of all post 1994 South African citizens.

Written and directed by Bukelwa Cakata, the story line of this important musical contributes to the worldwide dialogue that explores why most African women still feel silenced, and how the Performing Arts can create a more enabling environment for the voiceless to be heard. The plot centres around the life of Nomathemba, a married young woman who gets involved in a car accident and loses her ability to walk. The production highlights her struggles to cope with life as a woman in a male dominated world, as well as her valiant attempts at transcending the accessibility challenges she now faces as a disabled woman, by making her voice heard.
