"Ashraf Johaardien's adaptation of K Sello Duiker's novel The Quiet Violence of Dreams invites the audience to witness a contemporary hero's journey as a young black South African man faces the shadows of his being and emerges as Horus, the mythical son of the sun. The journey includes a traumatic childhood in which his father describes violence as an act of love, a period of incarceration in a psychiatric institution, racism, crime and a litany of personal and sexual encounters through which he finds some resolution in his identity." - Theresa Edelmann (Cue)
