THE ECHO OF A NOISE at Hexagon Theatre

he astonishing THE ECHO OF A NOISE is Uys's one-man memoir. In the show, he sits on a barstool, opens his heart and talks about his private and public life leading the audience into his inner sanctuary with stories that can evoke surprise, laughter and tears. Now in his seventy-first year, Uys glances back at the small signposts that subconsciously pointed him in the right direction throughout his life: his father, Hannes Uys, and his mother, Helga Bassel; his grandmothers, his teachers, his passions, Sophia Loren, censorship, false eyelashes and making a noise when everyone demanded silence.
