Uys as Evita Bezuidenhout, "the most famous white
woman in South Africa." |
|
|
A fabulously funny performer/satirist, Pieter-Dirk
Uys's many incarnations include Nelson Mandela, P.W. Botha, and
his most outrageous creation - the glamorous Evita Bezuidenhout,
"the most famous white woman in South Africa." His new performance
piece, Foreign Aids, shatters the deadly official silence that still
hangs over the South African AIDS crisis and will take on American
politics on the eve of the upcoming inauguration. Recently profiled
in the New Yorker, Uys creates a chorus line of monsters, masters
and madams, using humor to puncture state hypocrisy and speak truth
to power.
"There is no better weapon against arrogant
politicians than humour." - London Theatre Guide
"The higher politicians climb the pole of ambition
the more of their asses we can see." - Pieter-Dirk Uys
Produced in association
with The Market Theater
of Cambridge.
