SUMMARY:REQUIEM: Journeys of the soul
DESCRIPTION:Jazzart Dance Theatre in collaboration with Cape Town Opera\, the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and Phoenix Dance Theatre presents the new\, critically acclaimed 5-star production of ‘Requiem: Journeys of the Soul’ choreographed and directed by Dane Hurst with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Neo Muyanga.  \n  \nThe brand-new production premiered in the UK in collaboration with Opera North and Phoenix Dance Theatre and Cape Town Opera was hailed as a 5-star “knock-out double bill” and promises to be a thought-provoking and poignant expression of remembrance and rebirth in a post-pandemic society. Neo Muyanga’s new work entitled ‘After Tears’ was described as an “invocation of South African rituals of mourning and remembrance – ultimately celebrating the beauty of life – colourful\, joyous\, uplifting: food for the soul.” This new work was specially commissioned by Opera North to be performed along and as a companion piece to Mozart’s iconic masterpiece entitled\, ‘Requiem’. Muyanga writes – “My new work After Tears laments the palpable sense of loss after the dream of a utopia has been deferred. The piece is a rallying call for individual citizens to work collectively\, with empathy\, to rebuild after a period of distress and loss. It envisages this collective work as a vibrant ‘After Tears party’ where the blues of mourning are submerged and constrained by the reverie of a cleansing ceremony.”  \n  \nWith lighting design by Faheem Bardien\, the music to this production will be brought to life by the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra\, Schola Cantorum -The Stellenbosch University Chamber Choir\, Cape Town Opera’s soloists and award-winning chorus under the musical direction of Adam Szmidt.  \n  \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:He Had It Coming
DESCRIPTION:Fresh from their extended Artscape run of My Fellow South Africans that continues its national tour\, MVG Productions will stage He Had It Coming with the same team from 14-19 August at Artscape as part of Artscape’s Woman Humanity Festival. \nTaking its name from the lyrics of Cell Block Tango in the hit musical Chicago\, He Had It Coming uses satire\, comedy\, poetry\, song and drama to explore and educate audiences about the scourge of gender-based violence and its related themes. \nFirst produced in October 2019 when Van Graan was an artist-in-residence at the University of Pretoria\, this version of the revue has evolved during a period of rehearsal at Artscape with the extremely talented and versatile Kim Blanche Adonis who was rehearsing and performing My Fellow South Africans at the same time. Van Graan is an artist-in-residence at the University of Johannesburg this year which has afforded him the time and space to grow\, produce and tour these two one-person revues. \nSince Adonis first performed the work under the direction of Daniel Mpilo Richards in August 2022\, the work has evolved with new sketches that take account of a younger audience at which a version of the revue is aimed. \nThere are two versions of the show\, with an ‘adult’ performance of 60 minutes that will be staged at Artscape from 14-19 August\, and a shorter 45-minute piece that targets high school learners\, NGOs and their constituencies to serve as a catalyst for discussion and education about the themes raised in the piece. \nWriting about the 2022 edition of He Had It Coming\, Robyn Cohen states \nKim Blanche Adonis is absolutely feisty as she segues between multiple characters in sketches underpinned by gender-based violence and the fear which women deal with daily… \n …Van Graan’s script is threaded with his unerring and unflinching gaze on the nation that we love but which is ruptured and fractured by so much grief and despair. It is the self-deprecating humour that gets us through. \n \nFor more information about the writer’s work\, see www.mikevangraan.co.za or to book a performance\, write to art27m@iafrica.com.
