The article published on the website of the newspaper "The Guardian" on March 12, 2013 is headlined "Mies Julieby Maddy Costa. The article reports about South African playwright-director Yael Farber has taken the bones of August Strindberg's 1888 play, in which an aristocratic woman has sex with a manservant, and stitched on new muscle, a new nervous system, new skin.
It is important to note that 27 April 2012 – Freedom Day – and the black staff on a farm in the Karoo are celebrating the anniversary of the end of apartheid. John, Mies Julie father's favourite servant, polishes his master's boots, and eyes her warily. The woman entices him and the man finally reciprocates, theirs is the coupling of wild animals, violent enough to kill.
It's an interesting fact that Farber's caustic story is the extent to which Julie and John feel impelled to re-enact the brutality of the generations that came before them: with awful inevitability, they return to the epithets of the old world, reducing him to a "grovelling kaffir boy", and her to a thieving Boer.
The article draws a conclusion that hit at the Edinburgh festival last year, Farber's acutely intelligent production lives up to expectations. The sound – designed by brothers Daniel and Matthew Pencer, performed live by Mark Fransman, Brydon Bolton and a mesmerising Xhosa musician, Tandiwe Nofirst Lungisa – is particularly brilliant, making the air pulse with anger and threat. Bongile Mantsai's John is sinewy with conflicting emotion; as Julie, Hilda Cronje seethes.
As for me, I think that it's a very interesting histrionics, which expresses all human feelings and emotions. I  think it's really worth to look!
