Zebulon Dread from South Africa calls himself a 'cultural terrorist'. In his country he is well known, due to his provocative performances at festivals. He is both a stand-up comedian, magazine editor and street vendor. The way he sells his magazine 'Hey Voetsek' (African for: hey, get lost) makes him loved and feared at the same time. In this magazine, which has acquired a cult status in South Africa, he rages against everything that is middle of the road, lethargic and politically correct. Tonight as well Zebulan Dread shall sell his magazine.

Line-up

Zebulon Dread

was born as Elliot Josephs in Bonteheuvel, one of the townships near Capetown. He read the books of Kafka, Sartre, Hesse, Conrad, Dostojewski and Ngugi, before his teachers had even heard of these writers. This selfwilled attitude brought about his transformation into the "cultural terrorist” Zebulon Dread. In that year, without money, with a ancient computer, but with a lot of courage appeared for the first time the one man's magazine Hei Voetsek (Get lost). In this magazine, that by now has reached a cult status in South Africa and makes Dread both loved and hated, he rages against everything that is mediocre, lethargic and politically correct. All this written in impolite but correct African. Alongside writing, publishing and selling this magazine, Dread made the comedy show Hotnotsgot and wrote and published several books.
