SUMMARY:Mr. Duiker Sang the Blues( NO LATE ENTRY)
LOCATION:Mannie Manim\, Market Theatre\, Johannesburg
DESCRIPTION:Dyondzo Kwinika\, winner of the inaugural 2025 DALRO Can Themba
  Merit Award\, gears up for his theatrical debut with his new play\, Mr Du
 iker Sang the Blues. Originally written as a short story and now adapted f
 or stage\, the production will run from 13 Sept – 4 Oct 2026 at The Mark
 et Theatre. Through the fictional life of an exceptional Soweto-born jazz 
 pianist named Themba\, Mr. Duiker Sang the Blues reveals how broken pasts 
 between his family and those closest to him often reproduce themselves—f
 irst as artistic brilliance and then as personal destruction. Through Kwin
 ika’s exceptional use of language\, the work spotlights mental health ch
 allenges in the life of a musician in a poignantly relatable way. The comp
 etition attracted more than 250 submissions from different parts of South 
 Africa\, all inspired by the enduring legacy of Can Themba. An anthology f
 eaturing the top ten shortlisted stories\, including Kwinika’s Mr. Duike
 r Sang the Blues\, was published by the Wits University Press\, edited by 
 Neil Coppen. The adaptation of this winning short story now reaches a broa
 der audience in this premiere production of the work.\n\nBoletos: https://
