FACE OFF

Blackfacing on stage or television always causes headlines. Ntando Cele turns the tables. In her stand-up performance, FACE OFF, her alter ego Bianca White steps onto the stage with her blonde wig, blue contact lenses and whiteface. White is a Rhodie, a white Zimbabwean globetrotter who gives self-help courses, meditates, is committed to helping children – and has even adopted some – and dreams of awhite world where everyone can overcome their inner and outer blackness.
Premiered – 22 February 2012
