Die Before You Die - Junior Mthombeni / theater arsenaal, KVS, Moussem & SOCHA

Junior travels from South Africa to Varanasi to detach himself from his past and reclaim his name, in an explosive solo about farewell, resistance and rebirth. “It is time to die. Not literally, but to shed everything that no longer works. The name Mthombeni? Past tense. A name that my family received under colonial coercion. I want to return to Moloi, the name that was taken from us. Moloi means healer.” For his new solo Die Before You Die, Junior Mthombeni travels to South Africa to reclaim his name. And to Varanasi, the city where people go to die. Not to give up, but to detach himself from everything that binds him. Die Before You Die is a farewell. A resistance. A celebration. An explosion. > Free post-talk afterwards in the hall
