Drifting

Drifting is a tribute performance done for Reza de Wet, curated by curatorship of Rob Murray, Andrew Buckland, and Illka Louw.

The original text

Devised in memory of the actress, playwright and lecturer Reza de Wet, it is a mixed-media, multicultural, and many-faceted response to her plays and physical theatre texts, created by senior postgraduate students, staff members and professional performers under the curatorship of Rob Murray, Andrew Buckland, and Illka Louw.

The text is unpublished and is housed at National English Literary Museum (NELM) in the FPTC archive.

A discussion of the play and performance is provided by Juanita Finestone-Praeg in her article "Drifting: Reminiscing. Remembering. Reinventing. Reza" (to be published in 2019)
