Girls go through much. A dance production by Mophato Dance Theatre entitled Thari that premiered on Tuesday during the Maitisong Festival at Maruapula highlights some of the issues that affect women, especially Batswana women, in a more touching way.

Choreographed by the talented Andrew Letso Kola and an all-women cast, Thari is a poignant girl story that most Batswana ladies would relate to. The production features some of the most brilliant dancers including, Lone Motsumi, Mamello Magabo, Stephanie Keitumetse, Karabo Mpai, Makgotso Gaseitsewe, Lesego Molefi, Boitumelo Mphusu and Phenyo Oaitse.

Poet,  Anita Mmakgosi Tau provides a narration of the play with some powerful words about the plight of women in our society, while the amazing songstress Pesalema Motshobi and Lesedi Oitshepile add their haunting and, at times, shrieking cries to the soundtrack.
