Nataniël: When Giants Wa� z In When Giants Waltz, singer, songwriter and storyteller, Nataniël, will look at the age-old phenomenon of the big versus the small, the ever-present struggle between the indestructible and the threatened, the constant war between the individual and the establishment, the tiring debate between the political and the intelligent. Using his trademark stylistic lighting and dramatic wardrobe, Nataniël, along with Charl du Plessis (piano), Juan Oosthuizen (guitar), Werner Spies (bass) and Peter Auret (drums), will perform music from the endless catalogue of blues and jazz evergreens, pop classics and original songs.

In Slavenhuis 39Vier jong bruin studente deel ’n woonstel op Stellenbosch wat jare gelede slawe gehuisves het. Soos hulle deur hul eerste jaar op universiteit probeer kom, bots hulle dikwels met mekaar. Met ‘n blik op die toekoms – hier waar hulle ‘n nuwe lewe vir hulself probeer bou – moet hulle die verlede probeer versoen met hedendaagse kwessies soos manlikheid, bendes, geloof, rassisme, kultuur, homoseksualiteit en doodeenvoudige menslikheid. Want wat beteken bruinwees nou eintlik?

The After Party Disoriented, injured, frustrated and angry… a car crash in a remote part of town forever changes the lives of fi ve teenagers on their way to the Matric Dance After Party. After crashing into a tree, one teen is thrown from the vehicle and is badly injured. The other four try to fi nd help, but, their cell phones are damaged or trapped in the wreckage, and no landmarks or signs of humanity is visible in the dark. Tensions fl are and nerves unravel... All hope of fi nding help disappears as the four teens return to the wreckage and discover that a stranger has stolen all their belongings and raped their injured friend. Their dreams of a fun and exciting Matric Dance After Party have turned into feelings of limbo, fear, desperation and guilt... Who or what is to blame for this disaster?

1 OCTOBER 2019

Kwakhanya Kwakhanya, a young lady who lost her mother during childbirth, was raised by her grandmother. When she is in Grade 10, her grandmother dies, and she is forced to live with her uncle and his wife. Her life becomes unbearable when her aunt becomes aggressive and abusive towards her. But Kwakhanya has to stay strong – because she had nowhere else to go.

After writing her fi nal exams, she runs away from home, meets a guy who helps her and gives her a place to stay, and goes on to study Accounting (CA), which she successfully completes. But, even after getting married and trying to move on with her life, she is still haunted by her past – and the only way to heal from the anger of the past is to face her perpetrator...

Look Alike Terrorist A black woman en-route to Rome via Istanbul experiences a what it’s like to Look Alike Terrorist. On arrival at Istanbul, offi cials make cursory glances at passports and immediately return them to passengers, but when it’s her turn, her passport is not returned. Perplexed, she dutifully waits... but nothing happens. After tentatively enquiring what the problem is and being ignored by the offi cials, several offi cers surround her and take her into a little room. This one-woman play captures her anxiety and reminiscence on past experiences, including solitary confi nement where her powerlessness predominated. How does this jaunt end?

Performances will be held at Artscape Theatre, as well as in some of the townships the artists hail from. Venues in the townships will be transformed into performance spaces, giving people access and freedom to express and showcase their arts in their own spaces.
