SYNOPSIS

The use of rich textures, saturated colours and the combination of dramatic performance and stop frame animation convey the complexities of a small sweltering town burdened by an unspeakable act of violence. Shamed by the travesty, the storyteller lures the audience into Baby Tshepang’s world and the brutal rape of a nine-month-old child.
