The Drowning Eye premiered to critical acclaim and full houses at this year’s National Arts Festival (NAF) in Makhanda and will now open at The Ramolao Makhene Theatre in Johannesburg on October 7, 2022. Written in 1949, when the young Martinican author was just 24 and a student in Paris, The Drowning Eye is part love poem, part surrealist narrative, part philosophical treatise, and a powerful testimony to the power and possibilities of love as an act of resistance.
