The King of Broken Things, scheduled to be performed in the André Huguenet Theatre at Pacofs in Bloemfontein, will take audience members on a bittersweet journey.
This production captivates by displaying the mental strength and ability of a boy who repurposes broken and discarded objects.
Theatre lovers can watch this stage drama from 23 May to 25 May.
Through the boy’s sense of abandonment and his outlook on the world, the audience members are challenged to acknowledge their own “brokenness”.
Through his love for discarded objects, The King of Broken Things teaches us the importance of reparation and how all things, seen and unseen, can be mended, creating new things from old.
The show touches on ancient Japanese traditions, on mythology and dreams, and reminds people of the magic that they so easily forget is everywhere.
The King of Broken Things is a timely reminder to think about the world and the repercussions of actions, thoughts, and the things said. And how mere mortals would do well to dwell more on the “magic words”: imagine, believe, and dream.
The production is suitable for youths and adults. It will start at 18:00 on all three days.
Tickets are available at Pacofs booking offices and webtickets.co.za at R100 per person, or R80 per person if a booking for a group of five or more people is done.
