Selinah the musical is a fresh theatre piece that captures the mayhem and a few melancholic social ills that came with the national lockdown which took the entire globe by a storm, just a few years ago. Unfortunately, most of the traces of lockdown aftermath still live with us on daily basis.
Selinah storyline is based in the squatter camps of Senthumule (Koster) where the successful preacher becomes aggressively victim of committing Gender Based-Violence to her own wife. This occurs after all his business endeavours crumbled due to the curfews and somewhat unreasonable laws set forth by the Corona Virus Command Council. MmaMoruti (pastor’s wife) got forced by circumstances compelling her unlawful decisions just to make ends meet, which included an affair with the church elder and other single squatter camp dwellers and migrant labourers.
The story is told through brilliantly penned dialogue, original music scores and perfection acting styles, starring the seasoned Sello Sebotsane as the lead role actor.
