Borrowing aesthetics from African rituals, poetry, music and storytelling, the play follows a story of a young boy struggling to find the perfect world. Eutopia explores the state of waiting …. for change, for promises, for the perfect world … Drawing off the experience of millions of South Africans who are still waiting for the world that was promised in 1994, Eutopia asks the question –

Is there such a world?

Can it ever exist?
