On the evening of 24th March 2011, I successfully stage the first part of my trilogy poetry project. It was both a challenge and an excitement reciting and reading my poems to a lively audience. It is always a pleasure to have an audience that appreciate your work. Having a solo poetry show in Namibia is an impossibility but after the show, I felt relieved that all went well and the audience enjoyed the show. As someone in the audience asked why the themes of my poems are heavily? I explained that I haven't heard of a happy scar, hence the title of the show: The Scars on my Skin.
The Scars On My Skin - Part 2, is coming later in the year and I am looking forward to working on that project. For the second part of the show, will be using actors and the same cultural group that performed during Part 1, to have a dramatic presentation of my poems. Of course I will be writing new poems and still work on some of my unpublished poems.
The idea with The Scars On My Skin Project, is to collect material for my next publication also called The Scars On My Skin. I am looking forward to all of the and it will all come to pass with your support. Like I previously mentioned, I will publish the book and work on audio and visual productions of the three shows.
I want to thank the Bank Windhoek Arts Festival for their sponsorship and NICE Restaurant for providing me with the venue and technical team. It was indeed a pleasure working with you. Many other people I want to thanks are: Lindie for her support, Regii for Camera Work, David Ndjavera for being the MC. Chris for his percussions, the Makgona Ngwao Cultural Group and of course the audience, friends and family. You are a blessing to an Artist..
Looking forward to reading the reviews as well and I will share the links with you all.
For copies of my first publication: Come Talk Your Heart, you can always get in touch with.
