The original text

A play about eight young people who undertake an improvised performance about the explorer Thor Heyerdahl (1914–2002) and the Kon-Tiki expedition of 1947[1]. The text probably written by Dehaeck and refined through improvisation with drama students and/or school children from the Drama Group of the Cloetesville Senior Secondary School in the 1980s.

The text is unpublished, but a typed copy is held in the archive of the Drama Department at Stellenbosch University
