About The Life & Times of Michael K

“All that remains is to be a tender to the soil.” — J.M. Coetzee

Life & Times of Michael K brings dignity to a humble man who finds solace in nature on an epic journey through a mythical, war-torn landscape. In search of his mother’s ancestral home, he finds strength in his own humanity, a profound connection to the earth, and his own unique path. Handspring Puppet Company, who stunned us with War Horse and stole our hearts with Little Amal, joins Cape Town’s Baxter Theatre to transform J.M. Coetzee’s Booker Prize-winning novel into exquisite puppet theater.

Winner of The Scotsman Fringe First Award!

Exquisite puppetry, Powerful storytelling, Bleak

Long, Great staging, Intense, Profound, Thought-provoking

See it if Puppets were entrancing. Mini versions were delightful. Voice acting was so well done.

Don’t see it if Too long with no intermission. Michael just never gets a break and it's so sad. But it's still an important story that is relatable.
