'Street Lights With Lips' preview

“Street Lights With Lips” is an imaginative piece of dramatized poetry set against the backdrop of the inner city, capturing the imagination of audiences as it walks them through a familiar neighborhood, using poetic verses and dance to articulate issues that occur only at sunset in our city streets.

What would street lights say if they could talk? Imagine that the street lights look at you, call you by your first name, invite you to sit next to them and to converse. Imagine you are no longer just a passer-by, but a friend, a sister, a man, a mother, a street sweeper, a journalist, a street vendor, a prostitute, a schoolgirl, an old man or just a spectator… What will you hear? What would you ask them? Imagine the street lights telling of things seen and hidden… of things forgotten and buried. What would you choose to take away?

Actress, poet and playwright Napo Masheane, who brought audiences productions including "My Bum Is Genetic Deal With It", "The Fat Black Women Sing", "Mollo (The Woman In Me)", "Hair & Comb" and the Indigenous Orchestra is known for her alluring blend of spoken word/monologues.
