Week Ahead 12-18 June 2025

 Dear Friends

🎭 Bhakti Theatre presents, in honour of the 50th Anniversary of Srila Prabhupada’s visit to South Africa,
Make Me Dance
A Dance & Poetry Drama
July 12 | 12pm & 4pm | The Playhouse

Fifty years ago, a spiritual visionary stepped onto South African soil — and sparked a quiet revolution. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, founder of the Hare Krishna Movement, came with a bold message: love of God transcends race, nationality, and social barriers. 

Arriving during the height of Apartheid, his teachings inspired a generation to rise above division — and to live with purpose and joy. Make Me Dance is a powerful tribute to that legacy — a rich fusion of dance, poetry, music, and storytelling. We trace his journey from India to America to South Africa and hear from the voices of those shaped by his teachings: their triumphs, questions, struggles, and transformations. This is not just a historical drama —
It is a celebration of spiritual awakening, a call to move, feel, and remember what truly matters. Whether you’ve known his story or are just discovering it, Make Me Dance invites you into a journey of the heart. Get your tickets from Webtickets here. This show also marks Bhakti Theatre’s 10th Anniversary!
