Back by popular demand, the production ‘Father & I’ returns to the Market theatre from 21 to 31 August 2025.

The heartwarming and beautifully crafted Naledi-nominated dance theatre piece uses personal stories, song, and dance to explore the relationship between South African fathers and their children.

It is choreographed by Moving into Dance’s Artistic Director, Sunnyboy Motau, with music by Bongile Lecoge–Zulu and Matthew MacFarlane, and direction by Homann.

“It had a very short run last year… it has a very moving and profound impact on people.” 

– Greg Homann, Artistic Director - The Market Theatre Foundation

“It has grown organically through the stories of those people involved in the collaborative process… these are South African relations because of history, issues of economy, poverty, and access.” 

– Greg Homann, Artistic Director - The Market Theatre Foundation
