Magnet Theatre Presents EVERY YEAR, EVERY DAY, I AM WALKING, Runs 2/8-2/12

Magnet Theatre presents EVERY YEAR, EVERY DAY, I AM WALKING from February 8 to 12 at The Concert Hall.

Directed by Mark Fleishman
Original music by Neo Muyanga
With Jennie Reznek and Faniswa Yisa

Every Year, Every Day, I Am Walking traces the story of a young refugee in Africa who loses family and home brutally and irrevocably and is forced to journey to a new place through many dangers and uncertainties. It is a piece about dislocation, about what home means, about Africa, about loss and about the first tentative steps towards healing and recovery. Every Year, Every Day, I Am Walking is an important moving contemporary story told through evocative physical images and music, celebrating the ability of human beings to heal and regain a sense of dignity and identity through the power of the imagination.

Every Year, Every Day, I Am Walking uses very little spoken language as the story is told through the physical images created by the performers and the evocative original musical text. The text that there is mainly in English and French, as well as in Xhosa and Afrikaans. The play is 70 minutes long and suitable for audiences from the age of 13 years upwards.

Brett Adkins, The Herald

"The optimum use of a space set and minimal, but carefully chosen objects including the striking use of sand and actual fire, created an afternoon of theatre that surpasses anything I have seen in the West End in years."
