Showcasing some of the best talent

n behalf of the City of Cape Town, welcome to the very first Cape Town Fringe Festival. Whether you are one of the performing artists

or an audience member, we are certain that this festival will be an enriching experience.

We are excited to join the likes of New York, Hollywood, Edinburgh, Brighton and Amsterdam in hosting an event of this nature. It is our hope this festival will further consolidate Cape Town as the events capital of Africa.

We take great pride in the artists of the city and the Cape Town Fringe is sure to showcase some of the best talent we have to offer. Through this initiative, we are able to create a platform for that talent, in a way that contributes to the growth of our tourism sector and creates jobs. This innovative model is a wonderful opportunity to bring art and business together in a creative and sustainable manner and we look forward to watching the growth of this flagship event in the future.

As performances are on show in a variety of venues from the CBD to Langa, we also invite you to take some time to explore the city. Cape Town boasts a wide selection of activities for everyone to enjoy and the diversity of its people is its most magnificent attraction.

We wish all of the artists well for their performances. You have the full support of the City of Cape Town, and we know that you will do us proud.

All the best

Patricia de LilleExecutive Mayor of Cape Town

The courage to make art

ften large public-funded arts institutions will write about how their institutions contribute to the economic growth of the areas in which

they operate. Independent artists, working outside of these institutions and often with smaller budgets, rarely try to justify their work in the same economic terms. In most cases, these artists value their work as “art for art’s sake” or against how it contributes to social and political regeneration – both are factors which ultimately impact on economic growth.

Across the globe, artists who participate in fringe festivals do so because fringe festivals are a dynamic way for independent artists to stand up for themselves; and to let their work challenge the perception that artsy people working outside of the “main” institutions are a bunch of weenies.

The inaugural Cape Town Fringe programme consists of themes ranging from the complex issues of identity to the right to protest. Presented twenty years into our new democracy, several of the artists on the programme continue to boldly engage with issues about white guilt, black protests, gender issues and other aspects of our socio-politic landscape.

Through productions already tested on the National Arts Festival Fringe – some having won the sought after Standard Bank Ovation Award – and others that will premier in Cape Town, the diverse programme comprised of theatre, comedy, music and dance is a barometer of the vibrancy of South Africa’s independent theatre sector.

Much strength to the artists in this inaugural Cape Town Fringe Festival who have the courage to make art because it is the primary reason for wanting to be an artist in an exciting and continually evolving city and country.

Ismail MohamedArtistic Director, Cape Town Fringe

fun, feistiness and freshness

elcome to the inaugural Cape Town Fringe … a celebration of the fun, feistiness and freshness of South African

performance art.The Fringe has been percolating for some time now – first in

the minds of those of us working on the Grahamstown National Arts Festival then spreading slowly to capture the imaginations of our partners, the City of Cape Town, Standard Bank and 567 Cape Talk, all of whom colluded to make it happen (and thank you to them for having faith in our big idea). The notion of the Fringe then took hold in the imaginations of our artists who submitted some amazing proposals and now, finally, it has reached you… the reason we wanted to do this in the first place. 

To understand what the Cape Town Fringe is, it might be worth stressing what it is not.

It is not a rehash of ’the best of Grahamstown’, although some of the best shows from last July are here.

It is not staid, stiff or stuffy. But at times it is serious as our artists turn their attention to some of the big issues we face in this country. 

It is not all light and fluffy. But there are lots of shows which are pure entertainment for entertainment’s sake.

It is not exclusively South African, nor is it only featuring Cape Town artists, but both are represented most strongly on the programme.

And it is not perfect. It is our first time out and, while we think we’ve done enough to make sure it blows you away and leaves you with some great memories and magical moments, there will be wrinkles and things we will realise we could have done better. And we’re sure you’ll let us know what those things are :)

Meanwhile, though, have a great time. Whether you’re planning on seeing one show or ten, we’re glad you’re planning on being part of it. Make sure you see loads that stretches you, that takes you to unexpected places and introduces you to some new thinking and fresh talent. And join us for a drink, snack or cup of coffee in our Fringe Club upstairs in the City Hall – the heart and soul of the Fringe. It’s a place for you to commune, share the highs and lows of your day, and to lock your favourite artist, critic or director in conversation until the early hours.

Amazing shows. And it’s all there for you…

Tony LankesterCape Town Fringe CEO

Performance Poetry (Drama, Spoken word)A kaleidoscope of words, where rhythm and rhyme meet, it is the space where performance and poetry greet. #whynotpoetry is an awe-filled production that is set to change the standards and boundaries traditionally set for poetry. Including a play, a reading, a powerful spoken word performance and a visual collective poem recited in unison, this production asks a peculiar yet honest question, ‘why not poetry?’ ‘Why not give poetry a chance?’ After seeing this show, you will!

A Day, AcrossPresented by CityVarsity Acting DepartmentTheatre (Image Based)Using samples recycled from other stories, A Day, Across tells of a young woman looking for what connects her to her great-grandfather. A former member of the South African Native Labour Corps in WW1, all that remains of him are censored letters from France. By combining media from now and then, history is remixed and re-performed to link her present moment to a century ago. Her epic journey to find her past will take her across continents, images, and time. How did one shot in the Balkans echo so loudly that it is still heard in South Africa today?Director: Sanjin MufticDesigner: Jayne BatzofinVocal Coach: Rebecca Makin-TaylorChoreographer: Iman Isaacs Cast and Crew: CityVarsity 3rd year Acting Students

Dance (Contemporary)In 2014, FO8’s power duo Grant Van Ster and Shaun Oelf join forces with dancer/musician Thabisa Dinga and choreographer/director Ananda Fuchs in The Architecture of Tears, an exploration into the human responses to attraction beyond gender and social correctness. Visually inspired by a study of 100 Tears Photographed Through a Standard Light Microscope conducted by Rose-Lynn Fisher in 2013, The Architecture of Tears comments on falling lustfully, landing painfully, dusting off vigorously and confronting our simple and

complex truths. Society appears to accept our curiosities far more readily then we accept them ourselves.

Physical Theatre (Mime)This is a story about Norman. Well, not so much a story, rather an event or series of

events that happened one day, in a certain month, in some year, of a particular decade, in the lifetime of one man – Norman. The life of Norman is not simply as normal as everyone thinks. Although he is ultimately invisible to everyone around him making him ‘normal’, everyone including the universe is very much visible to him as they affect his day-to-day life. “Yet another exceptional performance by Richard Antrobus, Being Norm is educational in the funniest way leaving you in stitches of laughter” (Cue – NAF 2014).Created & Performed by: Richard Antrobus

Dance (Contemporary)The Cape Academy of Performing Arts, winners of the Standard Bank Ovation Award 2013 for BitterSweet, presents Between the Lines. A poetic exploration of what exists behind words, the subtle complexities of subtext and hidden meanings through dance, spoken word and song. Beyond words lies the hidden truth and the essence of our inner selves hanging delicately between thought and gesture. Choreographers include Belinda Nusser, with a new South African Ballet, exploring human experiences through the contours and definitions of literal and figurative lines. The words jump off the pen and translate onto the performer’s bodies as you are transported to a place somewhere…between the lines.

Physical TheatreWhen her mother dies and robs her of her childhood, a young girl is left with premonitions, which make her an outcast in society. Blood Stain is the story of a young girl (Likhona – perfromed by Sisipho Mbopa) growing up in Khayelitsha, where the community has lost hope, humanity and integrity. Likhona has had some very critical and traumatic experiences for one so young and, sadly, no one sees what she sees, feels what she feels, or smells the blood she smells. The death of her mother, fights between her father and stepmother, and the ongoing murder and rape in her community determine who she has become. 2014 GIPCA Emerging Director Award recipient, Bulelani Mabutyana’s

trade mark of creating ground-breaking theatre to tell the untold stories of township life has been achieved by this production that brings to life the everday stories of life in Khayelitsha.

Five women (in the 40+ age bracket) set out to prove that age is not just a number in this humorous look at contemporary South African life. South Africa is a young democracy that is known for of its zestful and confident citizens... Blowing Candles is testimony to this. It reflects the canvas of people living their dreams irrespective of their dire circumstances and still being able to laugh at themselves. It drives home the point that your environment doesn’t shape who you are and what you

can become. Mixing comedy with reality, this production provides a hilarious night out, yet manages to drive home a serious message on the realities of life in this new South Africa.

The one-man play tells the story of a young man who grapples with the legacy of an absent father and a mother who is a grass widow because of the migrant labour system. One of his mother’s male diversions is a champion boxer, and much of the play’s substance and nuance are developed around the conflicts and contradictions inherent in this young man and the insights delivered about his mother’s life choices.

“Anthony’s energy is exemplary and his timing masterful.” Directed by: Khayalethu Mofu

EmsiniPresented by Galeshewe TheatreTheatre“Emsini is a gripping tale of wit, love and secrets faced by those in poor communities... and deserved a standing ovation” (Cue - NAF

2014). There is a saying that goes “secrets do not have a permanent home.” A reign of terror falls upon a small community in Kimberley. When a young girl is kidnapped, she attempts to escape, finding shelter in a recluse’s shack. This unwittingly opens a floodgate of long suppressed secrets about the girl, her mother and grandfather, leading to tragic consequences. This story aims to make the youth aware of the need for pride and dignity in ourselves, and takes its inspiration from the legacy of those who gave up their lives during the dark days of apartheid while Galeshewe was on fire, a time when people could be killed or burnt alive on hearsay and innuendo.

Saartjie lived to be only 24, after a life of seemingly never-ending struggle and lies, having been smuggled to England and there displayed as an exotic “show piece”. She was never to set foot on her home soil again. Exhibit S is Saartjie’s story fused with Antamu’s own and told through, speech, skin, and movement.

Happy DaysPresented by Anex Theatre ProductionsTheatre of the Absurd

Happy Days, by absurdist playwright Samuel Beckett, deals with our attempts to ward off existential isolation by endless chatter and rituals. Director, Zena Wood, adds visual stimulation to the experience of isolated entrapment which the character, Winnie, experiences with a visually smothering dress. Winnie represents the colonial woman in a patriarchal, conservative South African culture. In our multi-lingual, multi-cultural country we are trying to communicate through barriers. Words fail. Active listening becomes difficult and loneliness and confusion is experienced within our own culture and identity as we try to pass the time amicably until our own mortality merges into reality.

ComedyWho are you? Are you your job, your photo’s on Facebook, or are you really, in between all the platforms the internet gives us, still a version of yourself? Hutsetiket (the Afrikaans word for hashtag) is a one woman Afrikaans comedy taking a new perspective on the social media phenomenon. The production follows Anelina Stein (Elizna Vermeulen) as she decides to take her ‘talents’ to the internet. She wants her Tweets to be quoted in Die Burger and the Pretoria hipsters to follow her on Instagram. This off-beat comedy will leave audiences feeling refreshed and wanting more after seeing this enthralling performance from a very talented up-and-coming actress.

present If these bodies could speak. Bailey Snyman (Standard Bank Young Artist for Dance 2012 – Moffie) and Nicola Haskins (Standard Bank Ovation Award 2011 – As Night Falls) choreograph and perform in this visceral, experiential experiment in the body that examines a relationship from the inside out. The work portrays the visceral experience from inside the body and reveals the lived experience of the body allowing the ‘body to speak’. The bodies become sites of conflict where they negotiate their internal biology and external expression. The work navigates between anxiety, serenity, fight and flight as the work maps the journey of a couple in, through, around and out of itself.

Live with IvyPresented by the Rosebank Theatre CollectiveStorytelling

Starring the multi award-winning duo of Nicholas Ellenbogen and Claire Berlein, Live With Ivy journeys from Nyasaland (Malawi) in the 1950s to London’s West End in the 1980s. The Garrick family have been actors for generations – but young Ivy is caught between choosing law or following in her uncle Rex’s footsteps on the stage. This lyrical story gently guides you down the lanes of African nostalgia through the eyes of Ivy, who starts off as an innocent 11-year-old girl and follows her through the most memorable seasons of her life.

Theatre (Puppetry & mask work)The End came – it seemed no order could ever be restored, but then a new king ascended. Macbeth served him, won his battles, and still there was no fitting reward. Duncan chose his son knowing Macbeth had none. Well acquainted with the contempt saved for the child-less, his wife had seen this coming. Directed by Nkosinathi Gaar – who has been trained by both the RSC and Handspring Puppet Company, this adaptation of the work is both highly visual and neatly condensed. It integrates a range of theatrical approaches to bring imaginative life to the text while vividly portraying its humanity.

Marcus Wyatt & Language 12 – Maji Maji (in the land of milk and honey)MusicMarcus Wyatt’s South African music collective Language 12 represents a different approach to South African Jazz –an elusive sound that is moving forward, respectful of the past, whilst not being afraid of twisting boundaries. This rare Cape Town appearance marks the release of the groups much anticipated 2nd

album – Maji Maji (in the Land of Milk and Honey). Elemental forces collide at the heart of this deep piece of work. We’re pulled by gravitational emotions through a heavy rotation of dark, crushing grief, heart-bursting joy and all colours in between – at turns intimate and symphonic, playful and brutal. Maji Maji, the weapon and the cure. The product of restless lives lived roaming the inner and outer musical galaxies in search of new sonic horizons. Featuring Marcus Wyatt (trumpet, efx), Siya Makuzeni (voice, efx), Melissa Van der Spuy (keys, soundscapes), Prince Bulo (bass), Justin Badenhorst (drums), Gavan Eckhart (sound design).

Presented by Polony Theatre CollectiveTheatre (Drama / Comedy)

Modern society demands numerous responsibilities from a young woman and expects her to be more than one person. Is she a housewife? A mother? An independent woman? But the most important question is: Where and how does she see herself? These different facets of the woman don’t always see eye-to-eye; so what happens when they come into conflict with one another? Does she have to silence one part of herself because of another; and is this possible? Meerfout deals with the conflict between expectation and obligation. The conflict between who we are and who we really want to be. http://youtu.be/qGHhrKIEClYWith: Cintaine Schutte & Mariechen VoslooAnd the voice of: Antoinette KellermanText: Gideon Lombard & CastDirection: Gideon Lombard

Theatre (Lecture Performance)A gripping story by Franz Kafka about an ape, Rooi Piet, giving a report to an academy about the course of his life. After being captured in the jungles of Africa and taken to Hamburg by ship, he tries to survive his new caged existence by imitating human behaviour. Piet’s imitation of humans is so successful that it becomes a rewarding career. His report about his transformation from ape to human serves as a sober perspective about what it is to be human and how humans behave. It also takes a look at how culture, civilisation and the conventions of nature contort and how humanity, as a result of acquired behaviour, can never really be free. Identity is not static but a constant performance. The aping isn’t a

desire for freedom, but merely a way out. Na-aap is a collaboration between De Klerk Oelofse, interactive designer/programmer Andries Odendaal, choreographer Ina Wichterich, and director Jaco Bouwer. Recognition to Peter Handke for his appropriate work.

Well, let us drive and entertain you at the same time! PANSA - The Performing Arts Network of South Africa has designed just the solution for you! On the

Patchwork is a one of a kind production created just for 1-4 year-olds to stimulate imagination, engage empathy and focus, and create a bonding experience for parents and children. The play unfolds around a bed: the place where the comfort of home meets the strange world of dreams, where sheets

become oceans and pillows transform into creatures. Each child is actively engaged by the animation of objects, shifting space and colour, live music by Pedro the Music Man, and the landscape of experience through which little travelers can walk, run or be carried. ‘Patchwork is created with the support of the ‘Small Size, Big Citizens’ project - Widening of the European Network for the diffusion of the performing arts for early years.

Music (Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar)“One guitar plays back an orchestra” (The Month, March 2013). Philip Malan is a fingerstyle guitarist who uses the whole of

the guitar to conjure up magical melodies, harmonies and bass lines, all at the same time. His instrumental music is described as storytelling, drawing inspiration from nature and the rich diversity of South African people. “Although the finger-style guitar genre and the use of a loop station is gaining popularity in South Africa, Malan’s music is unlike that of others. He carefully brings together simple melodies and intricate guitar work in a performance which is easy-going and intimate” (Cue - NAF 2014).

The ability of each instrumentalist to convey their own sense of internal rhythm and personal introspection, allows for the exploration of multiple genres to express a range of ideas about the human condition.

Multi Disciplinary (performance art, poetry, theatre)Walk: South Africa is a performance piece created by a group of women artists living in Cape Town, in response to Maya Krishna Rao’s The Walk. Rao crafted The Walk as a response to the gang-rape and murder of 23 year old Jyoti Pandey who was repeatedly raped and bludgeoned with an iron rod by 6 men on a bus in Delhi in December 2012. We decided, with Rao’s permission, to create Walk: South Africa in early 2013, as a response to the

gang-rape and murder of Anene Booysen. Our vision for Walk: South Africa is centred around a sparse aesthetic that foregrounds the figure of the woman. Its focus is very much on the six women performers and considering the unavoidable, physical fact of their bodies – a fact which we understand rape culture to see to obfuscate or erase.Co-curated by: Sara Matchett and Genna GardiniCo-created and performed by: (in order of appearance) Rosa Rogers Postlethwaite, Koleka Putuma, Nina Callaghan, Genna Gardini, Siphumeze Kundayi and Sara Matchett

Through the resources of imagination, the characters are able to transfigure their existing realities.

extraordinary storyteller, enters this world and is embraced by our particularly indigenous South African style of good manners. South Africa’s transformation anticipates community involvement in restructuring and developing the land we struggled for. Love and learning begin. The show is for those of us who never knew, who have forgotten, who feel out of touch with our essence, and those of us who are willing to learn to be freely and enthusiastically South African.

Worst of Both Worlds is the 2012 Best of the Baxter’s Zabalaza Theatre Festival winner. Written and directed by Bulelani Mabutyana it features Thando Tsuselo and Lubabalo Nontwana in this cleverly-crafted two-hander which played to great acclaim at the Baxter Golden Arrow Studio in 2012. Performed in English and isiXhosa, the play tackles the issue of human child trafficking head-on using a unique and fresh style of physical theatre combined with strong elements of storytelling. The narrative deals with the journey of a girl who is abducted and trafficked at a young age, having to grow up under slavery of prostitution and its implications on her life.

TheatreThis 2013 Standard Bank Silver Ovation Award-winner returns to Cape Town from a

sell-out run in Germany. When Amelia and Andile fall into a concussion at the same moment, they meet in each other’s confused minds and are drawn back to 1997; the year of Ninja Turtles, bicycles and ‘I believe I can fly’. And the year when their friendship was shattered by a place in which even a child cannot feel at ease. Skipping from the lightness of play to the dark borders of loneliness, this is “a piece of theatre that will leave you breathless” (Cue). Directed by Joanna Evans (King Kong What What), featuring Amy Wilson and Aphiwe Livi with original sound by John Withers (John Wizards).
