This production tells the story of a young woman who stays with her mother inlaw. Although her husband loves her, and works hard for their survival, Bonolo experiences hard times and faces multiple challenges from her mother in law.
She tries to do everything she is expected to do, but her mother in law does not appreciate anything. This is especially so because she has not borne children yet.
Unfortunately Bonolo's husband also takes a long time to visit them, as he works far away from home. All this contributes to the creation of a sour and unhealthy relationship between Bonolo and her mother in law, which also impacts on her husband.
This production takes you on the journey through music, dance and dialogue.
