Who Said I Don’t Want to Dance is a stage play which follows the life of a young widow who faces challenges as she tries to rediscover herself after the death of her beloved husband. It explores an aspect of some ancient Southern African cultures, where if a woman wants to keep resources acquired during her marriage, she must find a suitor among the late husband’s clan. GINA, a young widow in her early 30s is faced with the dilemma to remarry within her husband’s clan in order to continue enjoying the benefits she had when her husband Sipho was still alive. Unknown to the people and to Gina herself, is the fact that Gina is in the process of rediscovering herself, her ambitions, her identity, her sexuality and above all the yearning she has had for several years to explore the land beyond her rural home; which has been the only place she has known. This story also explores the African woman’s subjugation and oppression in a patriarchal society.
