Bridging the Past and Present with *That Boy Has No Shoes*

That Boy Has No Shoes is a powerful play that brings South Africa’s painful past of Apartheid to life in a unique way. Instead of human actors, everyday objects like an axe and a camera tell their stories, allowing the audience to feel the weight of history. Created by Lara van Huyssteen, the play aims to spark empathy and understanding, especially among those who may not know much about this dark chapter. After its success in London, it now returns to Cape Town, not just to tell a story but also to inspire change by providing shoes for children in need. This emotional journey reminds us to remember the past as we look forward to a better future.
