The Olivier Award-winning South African company whose critically-acclaimed production of The Magic Flute thrilled London in 2008 returns to the West End with their triumphant new production of The Mysteries.
From the Creation to the Resurrection through Noah’s Ark and the Nativity, some of the greatest stories ever told are brought to life in this vibrant spectacle of music, dance, colour and spirit. First seen in 2004 in two sell-out London seasons at Wilton’s Music Hall and the Queen’s Theatre, The Mysteries now returns to the West End in a new production for 25 performances only.
<>Isango Portobello’s ensemble of 33 performers is led by Pauline Malefane, who was last seen in London as the Queen of the Night. Performed in the languages of South Africa, including English, Xhosa, Afrikaans, Tswana and Zulu, The Mysteries also employs the glorious and exuberant musical sound which has become the company’s trademark, featuring township percussion and joyous a cappella singing.
This uplifting and passionate production is a moving and inspiring experience for all.
