MUSIEK | MUSIC

MET | WITH Ilse Klink, Anna Davel & J.J. Petersen (klavier | piano)
SAMESTELLERS | COMPILERS Anna Davel & Ilse Klink
MUSIEKREGISSEUR | MUSIC DIRECTOR J.J. Petersen
PRODUKSIEBESTUURDER | PRODUCTION MANAGER Anna Davel

Twee vroue wat al vir jare stories vertel deur middel van musiek, film, teater, televisie en sang, verken die tema van hoop met liedjies wat hulle persoonlik raak. Elke lied is ’n reis deur tyd en ruimte, ’n brug tussen droom en werklikheid. Die gehoor kan uitsien na musiek wat dieper gegrond is as net klank, maar wat ook menswees belig, al is dit dalk net oor die wonder van die alledaagse.

Two women who have been telling stories through music, film, theatre, television and singing for many years, join forces to explore the theme of hope. Each song is a journey through time and space, a bridge between dreams and reality. The audience can look forward to music that is much more than just sound, but also illuminates humanity, even if it is just about the wonder of the everyday.

MET | WITH Dean Balie & Frieda van den Heever

Dean en Frieda se komvandaanplekke is so ’n halfuur van mekaar. Hulle is nie van hier nie en tog heeltemal hier. Hulle deel ’n hunkering huis toe en weet ook huis is eintlik nie die plek waar jy vandaan kom nie, maar waar al jou pogings om te ontsnap tot ’n einde kom. Om te verlang en tuis te kom is die padkaarte en rigtingwysers van die siel. Huis is Namakwaland. Huis is Kaap. Huis is stories, gedigte, songs. Tog is huis ook meestal so ’n halfuur weg.

Dean and Frieda’s hometowns are about half an hour apart. They’re not from here and yet, they’re entirely here. They share a yearning for home and understand that home isn’t necessarily the place you come from, but rather the place where all your attempts to escape come to an end. Longing and finding your way home are the maps and signposts of the soul. Home is Namaqualand. Home is the Cape. Home is stories, poems, songs. Yet home is also, quite often, just half an hour away.

DANS | DANCE

MET | WITH Simone Ras, Matthew Dragner, Unam Sota, Kgahlisho Matloga, Jasmine Maduna & Shayne Joseph
REGISSEUR EN CHOREOGRAAF | DIRECTOR AND CHOREOGRAPHER Thalia Alberts
VERHOOGBESTUURDER | STAGE MANAGER Katie Hodson

Deur die uitbeelding van ’n walviskarkas wat na die seebodem sak, verken hierdie kragtige dansstuk die temas van dood en vernuwing. Dit dien as metafoor vir alle lewenssiklusse – kortstondig en verganklik soos wat die mensdom is. ’n Apokaliptiese liefdesbrief met ’n aangrypende blik op die magiese skouspel van die verloop van alle aardse dinge.

Through the depiction of a whale carcass sinking to the bottom of the ocean, this powerful dance piece explores themes of death and renewal. The sinking whale serves as metaphor for all life cycles – brief and ephemeral as they are. An apocalyptic love letter that provides a captivating perspective on the magical spectacle of the passage of all earthly things.
