Foreign AIDS

Foreign AIDS is a one-man performance by Pieter Dirk-Uys, the South African satirist and “actor-vist.” The birth of the new Rainbow Nation under Nelson Mandela gave great hopes, but now, in 2003, AIDS is the greatest threat to the continuation of life in South Africa. So it is the ultimate target for a satirist who is passionate about the survival of his democratic society. The show reflects hope, and the truth about fear: laughing at it makes it less fearful.
