Oppad Sonder Bagasie [On The Way Without Luggage]

Dramatized presentations of a story or parable. Performing artist Marié du Toit sharply depicts everyday life: Each scene/every song represents a different character in her moment of need, her hours of struggle and her days of growing weary. From scene to scene she suggests that each persona lies down her burdens at the cross of Jesus. The performance is wrapped by the famous Onse Vader (Our father – the Lord’s Prayer) as an outcry for His intervention in response to those who come to Him. This video is distributed by GRN with the permission from Marié du Toit and Mema Media.
