University of Michigan-Flint Theatre and Dance presents My Children! My Africa!

Description

The search for a means to an end to apartheid inspires Mr "M", a black South African school teacher, to invite a white South African student named Isabel to join his student Thami in an inter-school debate competition. He hopes this will demonstrate that even in Apartheid-era South Africa, people of different races can work together toward a common goal. Pressure on Thami erupts into a tumultuous conflict between the black township students and the “old-fashioned” black teacher. This astonishingly provocative drama explores the struggle between choosing actions of constructive dialogue or destructive violence in order to accomplish immediate justice and social change. For more information and a schedule of upcoming performances visit umflint.edu.
