In 2004 when Theatrefront journeyed to South African to begin their collaboration they started with nothing. No script. No story. The plan was to develop a common theatrical language, to find the meeting point between two cultures, to learn about ourselves while learning about people from the other side of the world.  The result… Ubuntu (The Cape Town Project)* has been created through four workshops in two countries over four years with over 20 different artists participating. It is a truly international creation that presents the universality of our struggles and the responsibility we all hold to reach out to each other – whether we live next door or across the ocean.
