| A scene from Matty & Sis |
Matty
& Sis
is a tale of two sisters, like any other relationship they have issues and
fights. They play games to keep the time in a distance and laugh together to
soothe any sadness and guilt. As the play unfolds it is revealed that one of
the sisters is dead, she keeps coming back every night to Matty’s bedroom because Matty cannot let go,
cannot accept the reality. The touches on themes about life, guilty, love and death. Matty & Sis is
translated in many languages and it has played all over the world, but never in
South Africa. Philisiwe Twijnstra was able to cast two professional actresses
Sthembile Vicky Nyanda and Segametsi Gaobepe who will travel with her on this
exciting artistic journey.
