Two award-winning productions of stage and screen and a highly-anticipated new playfeatured in Ferti

Two award-winning productions of stage and screen, and a highly anticipated new play are featured in this year’s programme for the Fertility Show Africa (FSA) online event which takes place on Saturday, October 9, and Sunday, October 10.

Curse of the Womb – which can be seen on Sunday, October 10 at 14h30 – is a new play by Sisa Congress V Makaula III in which six talented individuals, who come from different backgrounds, give powerful energy to the concept of infertility. The Curse of the Womb screening is sponsored by Salome™.

Says Makaula: “For many years the African perspective of shame and isolation has destroyed many marriages and relationships and the issues surrounding infertility are not often discussed in public. This has affected a lot of women throughout generations, driving them into depression because they were blamed for the inability to bear a child. Curse of the Womb seeks to interrogate the myth that women who cannot conceive are cursed.”

The cast includes Themkile Komani, Zimasa Nyamende, Philani “Steve” Xhaga, Siyanda Yokwana, Zinzi Mtshakaza and Sibulele Bulelani Ntlebi.
