Based on a true story that rocked the nation and shocked the world, Lara Foot's haunting masterpiece has earned international praise.
Tshepang became an international success as it presented a rare and necessary foray into a world that few have seen before. It draws on a South African style of story-telling, combining striking visual imagery with an African sense of magic realism, while cleverly and sensitively layering the story with complex psychological and personal issues. Although the topic may be brutal, the way it is handled is sensitive, even poetic, earning the production praise from audiences and critics around the globe. In 2001 six men were accused of raping a baby in South Africa, the baby was called Tshepang by hospital staff which in Zulu means ‘have hope’. This story is purely fictional, weaving together twenty thousand stories - the estimated number of reported child rapes in South Africa each year. Ultimately Tshepang is a story of love, forgiveness and coming to terms with a devastation of this magnitude, and the complexities and contradictions that surrounded these events.WebsiteVisit website
