STORYTELLING IN THE DIGITAL AGE

8 Mar

South Africa’s ancient tradition of storytelling is being catapulted into the digital age. The same grand themes of love, peace, human frailty and hope that were once discussed round a bush fire are now being played out on the corporate and commercial stages of South Africa and the world.  The use of dialogue and narration are now not the only tools creators have to tell their stories. Beyond the barriers of the spoken word and language, Maverick Warehouse is exploring and perfecting the use of light, projections, dance, music and the miracle of the human body to portray stories in a creative and engaging way. It’s a medium that transports the viewer to fantastical realms that can only be accessed in the imagination. Its making the unreal, real, The fantasy, physical, it’s storytelling for the modern age.
