From the award-winning Wela Kapela team who brought you Vincent, THE TRAMP is a one-man hybrid piece about the life of the greatest comic of the silent film era, Charlie Chaplin. The life of Chaplin is closely woven through his beloved alter-ego, The Tramp, where the line between comedy and tragedy is often blurred. The story begs the question: who came first? Charlie or The Tramp? Accompanied by a timeless soundscape of honkey-tonk music and some musical numbers composed by Chaplin himself, coloured through reimagined pop, jazz, rock and musical theatre songs, the show gives a fresh perspective on the man behind the bowler hat and toothbrush moustache.
Written and directed by Amanda Bothma, featuring Daniel Anderson and Paul Ferreira. Musical direction by Paul Ferreira, choreography by Sonwa Sakuba and design by Wilhelm Disbergen, Andrew Timm and Adino Trapani.
