DURBAN actor, poet and spoken-word artist Iain “Ewok” Robinson will star in Yobo: You’re Only Born Once in the Thomas Pringle Hall at 3 pm on July 8, 4 pm on July 9, 4 pm on July 10 and noon and 9 pm on July 11.

Yobo is a spoken-word, audio-visual experience created by Robinson and his wife Karen Logan. It delivers a highly visceral theatre experience using live video projection and an original score created across continents.

Set against the backdrop of the constant construction that is contemporary South Africa, Yobo draws us into the world of a solitary white man living camped beneath a national highway.
