Vier seuns van die Mfuleni-township raak hegte vriende by die skool. Hulle is kwesbaar as gevolg van spoke en insidente uit hul verlede. Maar wanneer hulle saamstaan en hul uitdagings reguit in die oë kyk, vind hulle simpatie en ondersteuning by ’n bron in hul midde: die skool se maatskaplike werker.

Four boys from Mfuleni township become close friends at school. They are vulnerable as a result of ghosts and incidents from their past. But as they band together and face their challenges head-on, they find sympathy and support from a source in their midst: the school’s social worker.

In die lente van 1972 vind ’n mishandelde meisie haar toevlug in die St. John’s-klooster in Avila, Spanje. Wat sy glo vir haar ’n veilige hawe sal wees, word in werklikheid ’n plek van versoeking en verraad, en sy lê ’n eed van stilswye af. En Silencio fokus op die Katolieke Kerk se misbruik van mense.

In the spring of 1972, an abused girl finds refuge in St. John’s convent in Avila, Spain. What she hopes will be a sanctuary, becomes a place of temptation and betrayal, leading her to take a vow of silence. En Silencio sheds light on the abuse of power within the Catholic Church.

Queenie-hulle gee die gehoor ’n blik op vyf bergies se ervaring wanneer hulle op die vooraand van 2019 se nasionale verkiesing ’n kennisgewing kry dat hulle die Goeie Hoop-Sentrum se trappe, waar hulle tot dusver gebly het, moet ontruim. Die stuk verken identiteit sonder agting vir politieke korrektheid. Hierdie is ’n storie wat almal moet hoor, want almal het ’n behoefte aan erkenning, ongeag op watter manier.

Queenie-hulle gives the audience a view on five bergies’ experience when they receive an official notice on the night before the 2019 elections that they must vacate the Good Hope Centre’s steps, where they have been squatting for years. This story explores identity without any political correctness. It is a story that everybody should hear, because we all have a need to be heard, no matter how.

In this liminal realm, memories, dreams, desires and haunting shadows converge to breathe new life into what is lost. Prepare for a journey brimming with laughter, introspection and the extraordinary.

Bonsai

MET | WITH Hendré Henning & Zanje Bodenstein
TEKS | SCRIPT Gita Fourie
REGISSEUR | DIRECTOR Alby Michaels

In hierdie dialoog word die bonsai ’n simbool van die druk wat deur gesinne, skole en sosiale media op kinders geplaas word. Net soos bonsaibome noukeurig gevorm en gesnoei word, word kinders dikwels deur eksterne faktore beïnvloed.

In this dialogue the bonsai is a symbol of the pressure placed on children by families, schools and social media. Just as bonsais are carefully clipped and formed, so are children influenced by external factors.

Dis tradisie

MET | WITH Gianni de Lange & Brendan Kruger
TEKS | SCRIPT Adriaan Havenga
REGISSEUR | DIRECTOR Ilse Klink

Dag een

MET | WITH Hanno van Zyl & Christian Nortjé
TEKS | SCRIPT Johann Smith
REGISSEUR | DIRECTOR Kobus Burger

Ten spyte van wat rolprente ons laat glo, verdwyn die effek van verlies nie na ’n paar weke nie. Alles in ons omgewing herinner ons aan ons geliefdes, en in daardie oomblik is die pyn amper dieselfde as op die eerste dag.

Despite what films would have you believe; one does not overcome loss within a couple of weeks. Everything around us reminds us of our loved ones, and in those moments the pain can be as if it is the first day.

Broekloos

MET | WITH Junior Khumalo & Gianni de Lange
TEKS | SCRIPT Veronique Jephtas
REGISSEUR | DIRECTOR Zane Meas

Hoe vaar ’n jong man vandag die grootmenswêreld as hy op die drumpel van volwassenheid staan? Hoe trek mens ’n streep en kies om anders te wees as dié voor jou? Maklik. Jy maak die keuse om beter te wees, om nie in te gee aan wat die norm buite is nie.

How does a young man on the cusp of adulthood take his first steps in the big, wide world? Where do you draw the line and choose to become someone else? Easy. You choose to be better, irrespective of what the perceived norms are.

’n Aspersie en ’n broccoli stap by die skoolhoof se kantoor in. Dit blyk dat dié twee groentes eintlik net doodgewone tieners is. Wat begin as ’n kalm gesprek oor die lewe in die skoolopset word vinnig ’n ondervragingsessie.

As Andrea uiteindelik vir Tuli meer vertel oor die nuwe kêrel in haar lewe, word dit gou duidelik dat Toni aansienlik ouer as Andrea is. Dié verhouding wat aanvanklik na iets positief geklink het, is in der waarheid ’n manipulerende, gevaarlike situasie.

When Andrea finally tells Tuli about the new boy in her life, it becomes apparent that not only is Tony significantly older than Andrea, but that what started as a friendly and protective relationship, has turned into something controlling and sometimes frightening.

Balkies

MET | WITH Jean Retief & Chan Matthee
TEKS | SCRIPT Jason Jacobs
REGISSEUR | DIRECTOR Nicole Holm

Dit is aand langs die Eersterivier. Herrus, ’n matrikulant, is hier, nog in sy skoolklere met sy swaar baadjie vol balkies: akademie, sport, kultuur, prefek, hoofseun en meer. Kabous, eens ‘n jongman wat mens nooit sou glo ’n rugby-uitblinker op skool was nie, deel nou sy storie vanuit ’n ongewone perspektief.

It is evening on the banks of the Eerste River. Herrus is here – a matric student still in his school uniform, his blazer covered in badges: academic, sport, culture, prefect, head student and many more. Kabous, a young man who one would never believe was a star rugby player at school, shares his story from an unusual perspective.
