Ntsako Layn, a performance poet from Cape Town, was born Ntsako Mohlala. Ntsako combines aspects of vulnerability, lyricism, social critique, and theatricality to address themes of identity, manhood, memory, being, spirituality, and longing. To Ntsako, art is insanity; it’s the courage to grasp hold of the side of us which won’t let us be normal. His work is defined by a simple objective: he simply wants to share his story whenever he takes the stage. Ntsako uses the power of poetry to transform his personal struggles and experiences into performances that resonate with the audience.
