Yawazzi was responsible for the design of several multimedia projections for Magnet Theatre's production of ingcwaba lendoda lise cankwe ndlela (the grave of the man is next to the road). As set out by director Mandla Mbothwe, the objective was keep a sense of movement throughout the piece which was staged at The Assembley as part of the Infecting the City Festival from Feb 23 - 27.
Here is how the play is described:
On the long road of life we are all searching for somewhere to belong. We will still be searching when we die. Home – the concept and the location – is central in African cultures. It is associated with the fall of the umbilical cord, the grave, history, clans, and ancestors. Without a home you are not fixed, you are not protected, you are just like the wind.
Drawing inspiration from African traditions and urban rituals, ‘ingcwaba lendoda’ explores the physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual dislocation of young black South Africans whose origins lie a long way down the N2 in the Eastern Cape.
