Outididak (± 1,25 ure)
Lubbe, ‘n weeskind wat skatryk geword het, kan nie slaap nie. Yvette, sy trofeevroutjie, maak vir hom ‘n afspraak by Stols, ‘n gladdebek-verkoopman wat homself in enige soort ghoeroe kan verander.

Partly God (± 2 hrs)
Drawing on research conducted by eminent SA director, writer and producer Lara Foot and her team explore the narrative of conflict and violence. They will engage with that which is unspoken …. a silent language which begins to occupy the space between words and conveys lived memory, the language of speechless terror. The multidisciplinary production encompasses a landscape of reality and violence as well as a dreamscape, a magic space, where anything is possible.
Director Lara Foot

Dead Man Walking (± 2,75 hrs)
The story of a nun’s heart-wrenching interactions with a death-row inmate
Sister Helen, a young nun, working with the poor in the projects, becomes a pen pal to Joseph de Rocher, a convicted murderer on death row.
Dead Man Walking begs the questions - is there a moral difference when the state kills as opposed to an individual and should justice be determined by the notion of an “eye for an eye?” The opera therefore offers much more than a debate about the rights and wrongs of the death penalty. Virtually every scene develops into an exchange of views about love, faith, grief, justice, vengeance and the possibility of redemption, drawing its musical influences from jazz, rock, musicals and gospel.

The Tent (± 1,25 hrs)
In a small and conservative South African village, where everybody knows everybody but secrets are hidden, the local petrol station is the centre of village gossip. One morning a tent appears on the open land next to the garage. The tent and its occupants change the lives, alliances, relationships and futures of all in the village. The Tent is a humorous, provocative, and powerful play about how South Africans feel about themselves and others.
