Die een wat bly is deels droom en deels getuienis. Die geselskap se persoonlike herinneringe dien as vertrekpunt om die verhouding tussen ma’s en seuns te skets. Dans en drama word saamgevoeg om die narratief te skep van ’n kunstenaar wat terugreis na sy kinderjare. ’n Danser staan sy moeder aan die dood af en wandel deur die flitse van sy geheue, asook die verbeelde geheime lewe van sy ma, om tot verhaal te kom oor sy verlede, sy identiteit, sy familie en sy toekoms.

Die een wat bly is part dream, part testimony. The company’s personal memories serve as starting points to sketch the relationship between mothers and their sons. Dance and drama are combined to create the narrative of an artist who travels back to his childhood. After a dancer’s mother dies, he wanders through the flashes of his memories, as well as the imagined secret life of his mother, to come to terms with his past, his identity, his family and his future.

Ons gedagtes is dikwels ’n verwarrende doolhof. In hierdie pragproduksie is dans die kompas wat ons deur hierdie doolhof belelei. Maze of the Mind fokus op die mens se gedagtes, emosies en aksies, en al die hoekies en draaie wat ons soms rigtingloos laat. Choreografie is die sleutel tot daardie middeweg tussen die bewuste en onderbewuste waar ons weer balans op die pad vind.

Our thoughts are often caught up in a puzzling maze. In this stellar production, dance serves as the compass that leads us out of the maze. It focuses on human thoughts, emotions and actions, and all the nooks and crannies that leave us directionless. Choreography is the key that unlocks the interplay between the conscious and subconscious mind, an in-between space where we recover our balance on the road ahead.

The Blueprint

MET | WITH Ina Propriette

BELIGTINGSONTWERP | LIGHTING DESIGN Bennie Arendse
PRODUKSIEHUIS | PRODUCTION HOUSE HAUS Events & Productions

Hierdie dinamiese fopdos-teatervertoning vier Kaapstad se ‘drag’-kultuur en gee ’n stem aan die queer gemeenskap wat herhaaldelik in ons samelewing en geskiedenis stilgemaak is. Blou is die handtekening en metafoor vir die produksie waarin temas van identiteit, kunstenaarskap en ’n unieke vreemde geskiedenis verken word deur choreografie, storievertelling, projeksies en Ina Propriette se aansteeklike charisma. The Blueprint moedig feesgangers aan om onbeskaamd en onapologeties buite boksies te lewe. Inspirerend en ontroerend.

This dynamic drag theatre show is a bold celebration of Cape Town’s drag culture and a heartfelt reclamation of queer voices that history has tried to silence. Anchored in the colour blue as both a signature and a metaphor, the performance masterfully intertwines themes of identity, artistry and queer history with dazzling choreography, powerful storytelling, projection and Ina’s magnetic charisma. The Blueprint will inspire festivalgoers to be bold, beautiful and unapologetic.
