Event Details : 'The Coolie Odyssey' English Play.
The play looks at the arrival in South Africa of three Indian immigrants who decide to leave the grinding poverty and hopelessness of their native Calcutta and arrive in Natal to work on the sugar plantations. The plot unfolds as the story-teller - a monkey, with memories of previous human incarnations – types up his story on an old typewriter. His story unveils the life of Ramlall Kihari, an indentured labourer, who arrived in Durban in 1864. We follow Ramlal as he searches for identity, belonging and salvation against the backdrop of those pioneering colonial times. An Old World Culture presentation
