As we get older, most people tend to (conveniently) start forgetting certain things. And it’s usually the things we don’t want to remember. The things we want to remember over time get all kinds of “embellishments”. A half-truth in the 50s becomes an accepted fact 50 years later. A shaggy-dog story gets blow-dried into a magnificent “beehive,” and a drunken “one-night stand” years later turns into a beautiful, fleeting romance.
genre: Caberet
Wat om te doen as die wêreld brand
The world is on fire, but the angel/oracle/demi-goddess who single-handedly runs the cosmos’ customer service centre has booked herself off due to burnout. The great ear of the universe is completely over it. Who is going to listen to humanity’s whining now, give relationship advice, and put out fires where they threaten to wreak destruction?
HOORT
This semi-autobiographical cabaret will make you laugh, cry, and look at your own story with new eyes. Stephanie, the daughter of two pastors, searches for her place in the world amid her mixed heritage and the complexities of our history. With humour, pathos, and a vibrant blend of music, she comes to the realisation: fitting in is one thing, but belonging is something entirely different.

Die Siel van Eugène Marais
A new look at a literary giant: Die Siel van Eugène Marais portrays Marais as both man and poet – brilliant, broken, and constantly searching for meaning. Through literary text, music, visual effects, and metamorphosis theatre, the production places his struggle, longing, and legacy at the centre, making them relevant and emotionally resonant for today.
