The ‘sensational’ (Daily Telegraph) Isango Ensemble, who triumphantly presented Venus & Adonis during the Globe to Globe festival in 2012, return to The Globe with an intimate version of their acclaimed production of Mysteries, a re-working of the 14th century Chester Passion Plays encompassing the whole of the Bible from Creation to Last Judgement. Isango’s unique version of these plays will be performed by a small group of choral singers in Xhosa, Zulu, English, Latin and Afrikaans.
TopFoto is delighted that this Olivier Award-winning South African opera, music theatre and film company has entrusted their production archive to TopFoto. TopFoto is uploading images ahead of this, their second visit to The Globe – this time to play in the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. With only 5 performances (opening 29 March) and memories still fired by their rapidly sold-out runs in the West End, Isango continue to dazzle and thrill.
