We had a lovely audience for our scratch performance of The Fake Interpreter at Artscape, the feedback was useful and everyone was keen to see a full production in future. Andile Vellem and Marsanne Neethling (our stage interpreter) gave great performances and wowed the crowd.

Then came the radio and press interviews and post production work and even a commission to write about the piece for Magma in UK.

As the lead artist and project manager, I felt proud to have made the project happen although I found it challenging to play several roles off stage as well as on. The good news is that the team wants to work together in future. I’m now searching for a producer to take it forward to realise our dream of a full production and international tour. Here are some clips of the performance, with many thanks to Kerrin Kokot at Just Films Just Films.

After the performance learners from Dominican School surrounded Andile Vellem to ask him more questions about his stunning SASL performance and dance skills.
