Hamerman

Hamerman is a play by Tone Brulin (1926-2019)

The original text

Written by Tone Brulin and based on the book My Traitor's Heart[1] by South African journalist Rian Malan (1954-), the performance work uses of dance, song and acting to tell of Malan's experience of growing up in Apartheid-era South Africa.

Performed between 21 February 1997 and 11 April 1998 by Nieuwe Realisaties Theater at various venues in Belgium (e.g. Wereldculturencentrum Zuiderpershuis, Antwerpen; CC Ter Dilft, Bornem; and Theater Teater, Mechelen), directed by Brulin with performers Ivan Pecnik and Bodé Owa. Thereafter also performed in Malaysia, Portugal and other countries.

A typed copy of the text is held in the archive of the University of Stellenbosch
