The project is aimed at creating greater awareness around issues related to the protection of natural resources – with specific reference to water. Providing knowledge and information around these issues are some of the first stepping stones towards developing personal responsibility in this regard and to realise what the potential impact of a lack of (usable) natural resources like water, can be. Gogola II forms part of the Aardklop/Clover National Arts Festival and AngloGold Ashanti’s community engagement programmes.

The productions again toured in the in Matlosana, Merafong and Tlokwe municipal regions during September 2012 and were played to schools and community organisations.

The programmes were participatory and collectively devised by the students and the directors. The Honours students specialising in applied drama/theatre took part in the productions together with students from the second year group. The programmes were conceptualised by Prof M-H Coetzee.

The Drama Department was honoured to again have the opportunity to work on a project with such distinguished partners.
