Botswana: Kgololo Premieres Sunday
[Botswana Daily News] Gaborone -- Most people find a way out of pain with calming their nervous system, breaking circle of tension, speaking with a professional or just gentle movements and slow breathing, among the many.
Lone Motsumi, a talented actress, theatre choreographer and performer, is set to premiere her solo production Kgololo at Maitisong Theatre on Sunday. Motsumi's unique approach to healing and self-discovery through dance theatre has been her lifelong refuge when words fail her. Obtaining a Master's degree in Fine Arts in Dance and Theatre Production from Nanjing University of Arts in China, Motsumi weaves her personal narrative into Kgololo, which means liberation in her native language.
Kgololo is a profound exploration of memory, resistance, grief, pain, and transformation. The theatre piece chronicles a woman's journey back to herself, confronting the emotions and experiences carried within her body. Motsumi's director, Tefo Paya, pushed her to delve deeper into her personal struggles, forcing her to confront and rediscover aspects she thought she already understood.
Rather than viewing Kgololo as solely her story, Motsumi hopes it will serve as a mirror, prompting viewers to reflect on their own experiences and struggles. Tickets for the performance are available at P200 for single tickets, P300 for doubles, and P100 for students.
