SUMMARY:Feedback by Andrew Buckland at Baxter – Aug 2025
DESCRIPTION:Feedback — A Physical Theatre Murder Mystery by Andrew Buckland\n🧀 8–30 August 2025 • Baxter Studio\, Baxter Theatre Centre \nExperience a wildly inventive blend of murder mystery\, satire\, and physical comedy. \n\n🎭 About the Show\nMeet Feedback—a riotous\, surreal\, and surprisingly poignant murder mystery reimagined by South African theatre legend Andrew Buckland. Known for his award-winning physical theatre style and sharp satire\, Buckland transforms this eccentric tale into a vibrant feast of humour\, movement\, and absurdity. \nDirected and written by Buckland\, the production unfolds with outrageous flair: two feuding brothers\, a detective investigating a crime\, and a cast of flying cheeses (and other foodstuffs!) collide in a storyline that skewers themes of food consciousness\, globalisation\, and human excess. Ultimately\, it reveals both our capacity for greed and our capacity for altruism. \n\n🎬 About the Director & Show Background\nAndrew Frederick Buckland (born 1954) is a foundational figure in South African theatre—an award-winning playwright\, performer\, academic\, and mime artist. His signature style combines physical clowning\, poetic imagery\, and socially incisive storytelling. \nFeedback premiered in 1995 to acclaim\, winning awards at festivals—including the Scotsman Fringe Award in Edinburgh. Buckland’s works\, such as The Ugly Noo Noo (1989) and Laugh the Buffalo (2013)\, highlight his talent for blending absurd humour with deeper human insight. \n\n🎞️ The Fires Burning Company\nThis edition of Feedback is performed by Baxter’s dynamic Fires Burning Company\, featuring talented actors recently seen in acclaimed productions like La Ronde\, Metamorphoses\, Neighbourhood\, and Othello. The ensemble includes Carlo Daniels\, Awethu Hleli\, Nolufefe Ntshuntshe\, and Lyle October—all guided by acclaimed assistant director Roshina Ratnam (noted for Life & Times of Michael K\, Hamlet). \n\n⭐ Why You Should See It\n\nDiscover a theatrical experience that defies genre: equal parts mystery\, absurdist comedy\, and physical theatre.\nEngage with bold commentary on consumerism\, globalization\, and human behaviour through movement and satire.\nEnjoy high-octane ensemble performance\, with actors seamlessly switching roles and creating live comedy magic.\nSupport innovative South African theatre\, rooted in both tradition and contemporary critique.\n\n\n📅 Event Details\n\n\n\n\n\nDetail\nInfo\n\n\n\n\nDates\n8–30 August 2025\n\n\nShowtimes\n20:00 (Evenings) & Sat matinees at 14:30\n\n\nVenue\nBaxter Studio\, Baxter Theatre Centre\, Main Road\, Rondebosch\, Cape Town\n\n\nTicket Prices\nR160 – R240 via Webtickets\n\n\nAccessibility\nWheelchair accessible

SUMMARY:Alice in the Cape Flats – Musical Queer Fantasy\, August 2025
DESCRIPTION:Alice in the Cape Flats – A Queer Fairy Tale Reimagined\n🌈 By Haus Events & Production in association with The Drag CartelWritten & Directed by Berlin Williams \n\n✨ Step into a Vibrant World of Self‑Discovery and Queer Joy\nAlice in the Cape Flats is an enchanting and subversive theatrical odyssey. Under the bold direction of Berlin Williams\, this queer reinterpretation of Alice’s journey through Wonderland is firmly rooted in Cape Flats culture. It’s a story about discovering and embracing who you’ve always been\, against the backdrop of societal expectations. \nAlice navigates a whimsical path through time\, encountering unforgettable characters: the mischievous Double D\, the enigmatic Hatter\, and the wise Reading Queen. Each encounter reveals a fragment of the truth she’s seeking – mirroring her inner selves in a world where queerness and identity flourish unapologetically. \n\n🎭 Themes\, Tone & Cultural Landscape\nThis production courageously explores life under the weight of external pressures: the impossible pursuit of perfection\, and the struggle for authenticity – especially for queer femme-presenting individuals in the Cape Flats. Rather than simply retelling a classic\, Alice in the Cape Flats reimagines it as a bold celebration of Cape Town’s Kullit queerness\, marrying laughter with lyricism\, music\, and satire. \nExpect an immersive theatrical experience filled with: \n\nUnapologetic Gayle – punchy humor and unapologetic vernacular\nMusical performances that transport audiences into a magical\, rhythm-fueled world\nThought-provoking storytelling layered with cultural significance\n\n\n🔍 About the Director: Berlin Williams\nWhile formal profiles are limited\, Berlin Williams’ creative imprint is unmistakable. Collaborating through Haus: Events & Production and The Drag Cartel\, Williams is celebrated for bold\, genre-defying queer theatre in Cape Town. Their work resonates with theatrical vibrancy\, local identity\, and provocative storytelling that challenges norms and amplifies marginalized voices. \nBerlin’s creative vision ignites this production\, transforming familiar archetypes into powerful reflections of identity\, belonging\, and resistance in the Cape Flats. \n\n🎉 Why You Should See It\n\nExperience a reinvention of the Alice mythos\, shaped by Cape Flats queerness and cultural pride.\nCelebrate local creativity that pushes boundaries through movement\, satire\, and music.\nEngage with a beautifully constructed narrative that speaks to identity\, acceptance\, and heritage.\nJoin an inclusive performance space where laughter and reflection coexist.\n\n\n📅 Event Details\n\n\n\n\n\nDetail\nInformation\n\n\n\n\nDates\n15–30 August 2025\n\n\nTimes\nEvenings at 19:30\n\n\nVenue\nBaxter Studio\, Baxter Theatre Centre\, Cape Town\n\n\nTickets\nR150 – R250 via Webtickets and Baxter box office
