Return of the Ancestors genuflects to Woza Albert, a South African theatre classic featuring two actors with the basic theme of Jesus Christ’s return to South Africa during the apartheid era.

In this production, two struggle icons – Steve Biko and Neil Aggett – who died in apartheid detention, are sent back to South Africa during 2014, twenty years after the first democratic elections, to see whether the sacrifice of those who have gone before, has been worth it. They travel through the country on their way to a celebration that culminates in Nkandla, taking in the sights, sounds and experiences of ordinary South Africans along the way.
