Tonderai is, in addition to being a writer, director and actor, someone with a frankly formidable capacity for interaction with the world around him. He is fast, receptive, perceptive and warm, whilst at the same time a profound human being who knows what he wants, says what he thinks, expresses his visions eloquently and pursues his desires with a single mindedness, avoiding all distractions. He has the ability to live his life from a place of unquestionable authenticity, whilst at the same time being alert to his surroundings and responding to them with sensitivity and intelligence.
Tonderai Munyevu, this episode’s charming guest, offers us an enlightened stroll along the paths of reflection on issues that are not easy to portray, unless blessed with the wisdom that comes so naturally to him. Universally important topics such as spirituality, sexuality, racism, life in the diaspora, creative passion and conscientious artistic creations enrich the perspective of anyone interested in navigating the meaning of life, and were precisely the topics that brought this conversation to life.
Discover why Two Gents Productions, the company that Tonderai co-founded, specialises in interpreting theatre classics from the perspective of the thousands of immigrants and displaced people who inhabit the great capitals of the Western world. Find out why bringing Hamlet to Zimbabwe and other south African countries was not as magnanimous an idea as it first seemed. And, above all, discover why an already successful actor, writer, director and theologian (who graduated from one of the best universities in London and, indeed, the world) has, after the long quarantine and emotive Black Lives Matter movement, decided to start a new chapter in his creative life, in order to finally conceive the legacy that he longs to leave the world.

Tonderai, oltre a essere scrittore, regista e attore – il suo nome, nella lingua dello Zimbawe, significa ricordare – è una persona con una capacità di interazione con il mondo davvero incredibile. E’ molto intelligente, perspicace, intuitivo, affettuoso e allo stesso tempo è un uomo dai sentimenti profondi che sa quello che vuole, pensa quello che dice, esprime il suo punto di vista con forza comunicativa, e cerca di realizzare le proprie aspirazioni senza che nulla lo trattenga o lo distolga troppo. Ha la capacità di interagire con il mondo che lo circonda con un atteggiamento indiscutibilmente autentico e, contemporaneamente, è attento ai segni del suo tempo e gli si conforma con sensibilità e intelligenza.
Tonderai Munyevu, il nostro affascinante invitato di questo episodio, ci ha offerto un’escursione illuminata attraverso i percorsi della riflessione su temi non facili da esplorare, sicuramente non con la saggezza che in lui risulta così naturale. Temi di importanza universale, come spiritualità, omosessualità, razzismo, la vita nella diaspora, passione creativa e contributo artistico consapevole, e che rende consapevoli, arricchiscono la prospettiva di qualsiasi essere umano interessato ad attraversare il senso della vita, e sono stati gli argomenti che hanno dato significato a questa conversazione che adesso condividiamo con tutti.
Scoprite perché la compagnia teatrale che Tonderai ha contribuito a creare, Two Gents Productions, si dedica a dare una lettura dei classici del teatro dal punto di vista delle migliaia di immigrati e di profughi che vivono nelle grandi capitali del mondo occidentale. Scoprite perché -a cose fatte- portare Amleto in Zimbawe e in altri paesi del Sud Africa non è stata un’idea così brillante come sembrava a prima vista. E, soprattutto, scoprite come un attore, scrittore, regista e teologo di successo, laureato in una delle migliori università di Londra-e del mondo- dopo una lunga quarantena e dopo aver provato un emotivo Black Lives Matter, abbia deciso di iniziare un nuovo capitolo della propria vita creativa e finalmente concepire l’opera che desidera consegnare al mondo come eredità.

Tonderai, ademas de ser escritor, director y actor – su nombre en Zimbawense significa recordar – es un ser humano francamente formidable. Es rápido, receptivo, perceptivo, cálido, y al mismo tiempo es un hombre profundo que sabe lo que quiere, piensa lo que dice, expresa sus visiones con elocuencia, y persigue sus anhelos sin que nada lo detenga o lo distraiga demasiado. Tiene la capacidad de interactuar con el mundo que lo rodea desde un lugar de autenticidad inobjetable y al mismo tiempo está alerta a los signos de su tiempo y responde a ellos con sensibilidad e inteligencia.
Tonderai Munyevu, nuestro encantador invitado de ocasión, nos ofreció un iluminado paseo por los caminos de la reflexion de temas que no son fáciles de dilucidar, ciertamente no con la sagacidad que en el resulta tan natural. Temas de importancia universal como espiritualidad, sexualidad, racismo, vida en la diáspora, pasión creadora y contribución artística consciente y concientizadora, forman parte de las preocupaciones de cualquier ser humano interesado en navegar el significado de la vida, y fueron los topicos que le dieron sentido a esta conversación que ahora compartimos con el mundo.
Descubre por qué la compañía de teatro que Tonderai ha co-creado, Two Gents Productions, se especializa en dar una lectura a los clásicos del teatro desde la mirada forastera de los miles de inmigrantes y desplazados que habitan las grandes capitales del mundo occidental. Descubre por qué -visto en retrospectiva- llevar Hamlet a Zimbawe y a otros países del sur de Africa no fue una idea lo magnánima que parecía a simple vista. Y sobre todo, descubre como un exitoso actor, escritor, director y teólogo, graduado en una de las mejores universidades de Londres – y del mundo – después de una larga cuarentena y de experimentar en carne propia los sin sabores de un movimiento mundial como Black Lives Matter, ha decidido desafiar los límites de sus propias creencias limitantes, para ponerse manos a la obra, comenzar un nuevo capítulo de su vida creadora, y finalmente concebir la obra que anhela dejarle al mundo como legado.
