Generations: The Legacy actor- Maxwell Dichi, is bringing a different treat this Easter with his theatre musical ‘Tsogo’ which is scheduled for 5th April at the Holy Cross Anglican and Cathedral in Gaborone.
At a press briefing this week, the seasoned actor who previously played Seretse on the South African telenovela Muvhango, introduced what is expected to be an annual Easter Musical theatre play.
Set around the death and resurrection of Christ, Dichi, who is also the narrator, explained that Tsogo is a musical play through which the team hopes to evangelise and keep the spirit of rejoicing over what Christ has done for us.
The play could not have come at a better time since many people are making efforts to revive their spirituality after being cast down during the pandemic.
Dichi is also a producer with a passion that lies in film theatre and many other multimedia products. “The key thing for me has been understanding that the gift I possess is from God. Understanding that is what placed this vision of Tsogo in my heart.”
Father Adolph Matshidiso added on with insight into how Tsogo came to be. “While working on another project in 2021, Dichi told me that he wanted to do something churchy which resembles where we come from as people. We came up with the concept of a choir, penned down a script and proceeded to bringing life to this vision.”
“Instead of a performance, the audience should be expecting an hour of worship as we aim to bring our talents together to praise and honour the Lord.”
Through this play, the team hopes to revive, restore and rebuild the body of Christ that was shaken down by the pandemic. It is the perfect outing for anyone looking to worship God and celebrate the sacrifice that Christ made on the cross.
