Son of the Wind is an exciting Multimedia Theatrical Production to benefit two impoverished San or “Bushman” tribes, the !Xun & Khwe of Platfontein. The play tells the story of the disaster that befell the tribes during the Angolan war for independence. But it is also a story about the importance of myth and tradition and the endurance of love beyond death and reason.

Lobby Installations
As part of the production, we decorate the lobbies of our venues to create an ambience that introduces Son Of The Wind.. Canvasses on which photographs have been printed are hung up and lit, as part of the art installation to provide people with more information about the San tribes. The photographs are courtesy of the archives of the McGregor Museum in Kimberley. The pictures depict the lives of the San people during the war in Angola (as well as their daily lives in a cultural context), which ties into the story of Son Of The Wind.
San Art is also sold in the lobby. This includes the traditional crafts: jewellry, bows and arrows and wood carvings. These products will be available to purchase online shortly, so watch this space..
