Youngblood presents "The Flower of Shembe" & Arts Update



Neo Muyanga

We were also joined by Neo Muyanga - Composer & Musical Director of the Flower of Shembe. The production is said to be a ‘mythic opera’ about faith and destiny and will run at Artscape Theatre from the 2^nd till the 5^th of May. The musical play, Flower of Shembe, is a re-imagining of what trials and tribulations might befall a prophet-in-the-making coming to terms with his own destiny. Neo who also happens to be a nephew of the Shembe clan explained more about the production. The Flower of Shembe is directed by Ina Wichterich and Craig Leo and will be at the Artscape Theatre from the 2^nd till the 5^th of May at 20H00PM.
