Yesterday was very emotional and special for me.It was the award ceremony at Soweto theatre and it was also World AIDS DAY and I found myself remembering my Aunt who died of AIDS. I normally rehearse everything including speeches, but yesterday I got given a 🎤 and I thought yes, my Aunt is here! That's the first thing I ever asked for her to buy me and she came through yesterday! 🤣 Thank you @sowetotheatres for honouring and acknowledging me.It means so much coming from home.Also big shout-out to my nieces who came on stage with me.That was special. Thank you for the pictures @thatanelo ❤️❤️❤️
So Wawi and I don't generally take pictures with each other because she doesn't like them.i'm glad she took this one.I love it and I love you! Thank you @davidaprilphotography and @suzettelesueur ❤️❤️
In an inventive reimagining of Shakespeare's revenge tragedy, Dada Masilos HAMLET transforms The Bard's complex wordplay into a compelling work of dance theater. Masilo's HAMLET takes place in South Africa, where royalty and retinue embark on a fraught journey where all is not as it appears. Imbued with dark humor, elegance, and intrigue, the production features live musical accompaniment which nods at the Elizabethean Era instrumentation of Shakespeares time. The powerhouse cast features newcomer Aphiwe Dike as Hamlet, and Masilo herself as Ophelia.

'I miss you, like everyday but cannot be with you, cos you are away 'This is where it all started. This is my Aunt Ama she took me to the music shop, I saw a microphone and said can we get that? She said no baby we can't afford it, so I went to the stage. She's also the one who gave me the name Dada after the Crystal waters song Gypsy Woman.I loved the melody, but nobody actually knew the lyrics, not even my Aunt. She just made up her own version!🤣It runs in the family apparently # new solo work loading. A hand full of ash...
