...Colonnades founder Michael Lessac says his aim is to tell the story of an "evolutionary step for humanity," a time when South Africa did "something that no other country in the world has ever done: forgave the past to survive the future." With music by Hugh Masekela, a cast that includes some of South Africa's leading actors and a script that uses verbatim testimonies from the two years of hearings that began in April 1996, Truth in Translation is innovative, surprisingly funny in places and consistently moving.
