Van Ventersdorp tot Vergifnis – Dana Snyman se Seun vind nuwe stem op die verhoog

In hierdie spesiale Woordfees-uitgawe van The Mid-Morning Mix gesels Jacolette Kloppers met Nico Scheepers (regisseur) en Wilhelm van der Walt (akteur) oor die verhoogverwerking van Dana Snyman se diep persoonlike memoir, Seun.

In Seun keer Dana terug na sy eie verlede — na Ventersdorp, die stad van sy jeug, en die geestelike erfenis van sy pa, ’n predikant en voormalige kapelaan van die AWB. Dis ’n eerlike blik op skaamte, skuld en die moeilike pad na vergifnis. Met sy kenmerkende menslikheid en deernis skryf Snyman nie om te oordeel nie, maar om te verstaan — homself, sy pa, en die land waarin hulle grootgeword het.

Onder die regie van Nico Scheepers en met Wilhelm van der Walt in ’n uitstaande vertolking, word hierdie storie van innerlike heling en hoop ’n visuele en emosionele reis op die verhoog. In die gesprek deel Nico en Wilhelm hoe hulle Seun se rou eerlikheid teater toe bring sonder om die stilte en siel van die teks te verloor.
