Alice 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.
Meet 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.
Ontknoop die fyn web van liefde en verlies, gespin deur ’n matriarg om haar gesin tot elke prys bymekaar te hou – en hoe graag elkeen van hulle wil ontsnap. Speelgoed van glas is ’n boeiende, hartroerende uitmekaarskeurverhaal, ’n meesleurende verkenning van broosheid, verlange en die feilbaarheid van familie.
