SHOCKWAVE: The Closet, the Church and the Cruelty of Conditional Love Antakalipa | Consciousness of culture. “I can't change who I am. God made me this way. Love who you love, because life isn't guaranteed.” There are moments in theatre when the stage stops being a stage and becomes a mirror. You arrive expecting a story, perhaps a little entertainment, perhaps a few hours away from the demands of ordinary life. And then something happens. A line lands differently. An object on the stage begins to carry the weight of an entire lifetime. A character's silence becomes louder than the words spoken around them. Suddenly, you are no longer simply watching somebody else's life. You are confronting something about your own. At the Market Theatre, SHOCKWAVE , written by Chantal Stanfield and directed by David Dennis, invites us into precisely this uncomfortable territory. Set in apartheid South Africa during P.W.

Carmen — When Ballet Becomes Seduction, Violence and Pure Theatre There are moments when you leave a theatre having watched a performance, and there are moments when you leave having been reminded why you fell in love with the art form in the first place.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND — A WONDERLAND OF COLOUR, CHAOS AND THEATRE MAGIC Janice Honeyman's Pantomime | Joburg Theatre Oh, what a wonderful world it is when theatre allows us to be children again! There is something rather special about pantomime. It is theatrical mischief in its most beautiful form. It is a celebration of imagination, a feast of colour, an invitation to laughter and an opportunity to temporarily abandon the seriousness of everyday life. It is theatre that does not apologise for being extravagant, eccentric, ridiculous or delightfully over the top. And when Janice Honeyman is at the helm, you know you are in very capable hands. I was at the Joburg Theatre for the opening of Janice Honeyman's Alice in Wonderland , and ladies and gentlemen, this is the Panto! What an absolute spectacle. Bright colours, infectious enthusiasm, beautiful singing, energetic choreography, eccentric characters, hilarious South African references and an abundance of theatric...
