Description
Rites of Passage is a new play about family and identity. Transporting you into isiXhosa and French cultures, this multi lingual piece, fully accessible to an English speaking audience, follows the journey of two friends retracing the stories that brought them from boyhood to manhood. Dealing with daily cultural, and social political issues of being an immigrant and battling with the unfulfilled dreams of a father projected onto his son, two men from very different backgrounds find their connection in a search for identity and acceptance.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Watched this incredible show that took me on a journey from boyhood to manhood, and I couldn't help but be moved by how relatable it was to my own upbringing in South Africa.
This heartfelt series beautifully captured the nuances of growing up in a country filled with diverse cultures, vibrant landscapes, and the constant search for identity. From the challenges of navigating societal expectations to the inner battles we all face as we transition into adulthood, every moment resonated deeply.
Watching these characters explore their dreams, face their fears, and ultimately come of age reminded me of my own journey. It's a powerful reminder of the resilience, strength, and unwavering spirit that we as individuals possess.
If you're looking for a show that will make you laugh, cry, and leave you reflecting on your own experiences, don't miss out on this gem. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic and relatable portrayal of growing up.

So good I saw it twice. Rites of passage is skilfully crafted and delivered with a powerful vulnerability. Portraying a multi-focal story of family, identity and masculinity across countries and cultures, this captivating play is one of the hidden gems of this year's fringe.
