A Boy Called Rubbish

by Ellis Pearson and Bheki Mkhwane. Using a handful of props, all of which could probably be found on a rubbish dump, Ellis and Bheki utilize physical theatre principles to tell the story of a little boy called Rubbish and his special friend and hero who lives in his pocket : a truly South African legend of a child on a journey from degradation and deprivation to the discovery of his real worth. First performed at the Grahamstown Festival 1996, and played all over the country for the next number of years. Unpublished.
