Zulu spirits guide young couple

From page 24

“So I’ve weaved that into the
story in the first act when the
woman, Emily, is reminiscing
about her childhood.”

When Mortifee was growing
up in South Africa her house was
full of Zulu people who worked
for her parents.

“They loved us and they were
good to us and there were all
these unrequited feelings.”

Mortifee says that in her
young consciousness, she picked
up tremendous conflict. about
herself.

“It feels like this work has
been an opportunity for me to

work with everything from guilt
to regret to wonder, to fear and
all those things that we, as
human beings, are given to wres-
tle with.”

The play is a modern-day ver-
sion of Romeo and Juliet where
an untolerated love between a
black man and a white woman in
apartheid-ruled South Africa is
actually guided by the Zulu spir-
its. .
But it’s the mystique of her
youth and the tactile memories
that flood Mortifee that come
through in the play.

“t used to lie awake on my
bed, on the farm in Zululand,
and listen to the cooing, and the

shadows from the moon on the
wall as it came through the trees,
and hear the drums in the dis-
tance and the singing.”

While the couple struggle
with their forbidden love, their
world is collapsing in chaotic fer-
vor. But through all the struggles
that are going on in the play,
there is always an impending
sense of hope.

That something will happen to
right the wrongs, to sweep away
the anger, guilt, fear and injus-
tice. That all will Jive in harmo-
ny.

we the song says, “When the
rains come, we will all be broth-
ers and sisters.”
