Hol

A one-woman play by Nicola Hanekom. The play examines the psyche of a young woman with a troubled past and a disturbing relationship with food, and it played entirely on a treadmill. Performed by the author, the play was originally directed by Fred Abrahamse, at the 7th Artscape Spring Drama Season in 2011 and subsequently at various festivals. It won the 2012 Fleur Du Cap Award for Best Performance in a One-Person Play.

HOL DRAMA Afr. OB (T) Regie: Fred Abrahamse Met Nicola Hanekom Liesbet hardloop met ’n hol maag op ’n trapmeul. Haar voete is in maat met haar kop, terwyl sy haar kitskos-bestaan probeer ontsyfer. Sy sukkel om haar balans te behou en strompel oor haar verlede. Sy is die gebroke poppie wat sweet in elke gimnasium landwyd. Liesbet kyk op na die beoordelaar in die spieël. Hoe sal sy bevind word?
