Teatro Griot debuts play based on Breytenbach's "True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist"

 

The debut of the adaptation to theatre of Breyten Breytenbach’s book, The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist, filled up the Teatro do Bairro on 2 September 2014.  South African author Breyten Breytenbach was himself in the audience as the seven actors from the Teatro Griot performed in this first-ever adaptation of the book, staged by veteran theatre director, Rogério de Carvalho.  Included within the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Próximo Futuro programme, it was an honour for the Embassy to associate itself with this world debut, within the scope of the commemorations of South Africa’s 20 Years of Democracy.  Congratulations to the Teatro Griot for a fine performance!
