Celebrating creative and innovative energy

would like to welcome you to the second

annual Cape Town Fringe festival.
The 70 productions on show for the
next 11 days are sure to boast the best
talent there is to offer. With more than 60%
of the artists being from Cape Town, we
take extra pride in this showcase of our
local talent.
After the rousing success of last years
festival, we are confident that this years
proceedings will greatly contribute towards
Cape Town being positioned as the events
capital of Africa.
The creative and innovative energy
that has fostered in our city is celebrated
and greatly enhanced through events where so many artists
and acts come together.
It is with great excitement that I have learnt that venues
have been expanded further across the city. It is even more
wonderful to hear that packages have been put together by
travel agents, lunch time shows will be held for city-based

workers and that there is a programme for

schools and learners now as well.
We prize this spirit of inclusion. In
building a city where each and every
resident feels a sense of belonging it
becomes increasingly important to create
a shared heritage. The arts have a massive
role to play in that regard, which is why we
support the Cape Town Fringe festival.
We would like to congratulate the
organizers and artists for the incredible
achievements accrued thus far. It is very
impressive for a festival which is only one
year old. We look forward to continued
expansion, growth and innovation in the
bright future of this initiative.
All the best

new spaces and re-imagining old ones. This year we

welcome the Fugard Theatre and the V&A Waterfront to our
family, we open our arms once more to the Alexander Bar,
Galloway Theatre and Guga Sthebe.
There are more than 60 shows on offer and a massive,
psyched crew in the starting blocks. So bring a friend, a
partner, a child or a big group. Or come alone. Sneak out in
your lunch hour, or take leave and camp in City Hall for the
week. See one show, see twenty. Stick to the safe bets, or
take some chances. However you want to Fringe is cool with
us. Its just important that you enjoy every moment, whatever
you choose those moments to be.

Its Fringe time once again!

fter a great inaugural event in 2014, were delighted to

welcome you to the second edition of South Africas
freshest festival. Fringe is all about making new
discoveries and having memorable moments; about being
inspired by the creative energy of our artists ... and on all
those fronts I know that the Cape Town Fringe this year wont
disappoint.
Our team has been working hard to put together a
programme that is energetic, vibrant, cutting-edge, thoughtprovoking and, above all else, thoroughly entertaining. Youll
see some new names and some familiar ones. Youll read
descriptions in this programme that will have you asking
WTF(ringe)? And others that will have you clearing your
diary.
Were bringing the programme to the stage by creating

small elite minority will always consider fringe

festivals to be the backyard of the mainstream but
artisticdirectors, arts academics, arts reviewers and
arts policy-makers across the globe recognise fringe
festivals asdynamic laboratories. Fringe festivals unearth
newplays. They allow us to discover new talents. They
give us the opportunity to experiment with new forms.
They give us the access to explore new ideas. They give
us the freedom to test the limits of our liberty.
But, more important than all of this which matters
significantly to the arts sector is that fringe festivals give
us the impetus to engage the arts to heal ourselves from
our past, to unravel truths about our current challenges,
to envision hope for the future and to sometimes just
temporarily escape into oblivion.
It is on the fringe circuit that Pieter-Dirk Uys first
found the space to become the conscience of our
nation. It is here where Mike can Graan first told the
stories that unravelled the truths about our past and it
is on the fringe circuit where he still often premieres his
work to challenge our current realities. It is on the fringe
circuit where Thembi Mtshali tells her tales that heal our
wounds and give us hope. It is on the fringe circuit where
Sylvia Vollenhoven chose to tell her tale about Dulcie
Septembers courage, commitment and passion for
social justice. It is on the fringe festival where Nicholas
Ellenbogen returns each year to remind us that laughter is
still often the best remedy.
As the Cape Town Fringe Festival forges ahead
into its second year, the diversity of the artists on the
programme inspires our confidence. It is an affirmation
that our artists remain committed to investing their talents
to raise debates that arerelevant. They have the boldness
to be creative and experimental even when arts funding
can be challenging for them. They are generous in the
way they invite us to go on a journey with them to places
of both comfort and the unfamiliar. They try toseduce us
to delve into their world of imagination and creativity.
Fringe artists can be seething. They can be rebellious.
They may be young and have no money but they are the
investors in how we envision and shape our future.
This isnt rocket science. Its the historical nature of
how the arts has always spurred society to move forward.
In our society which is at a crossroads that is once again
grappling with our past legacies, our current challenges
and how we shape our future, I can think of no better
reason to be grateful to the City of Cape Town for putting
fringe artists at theforefront to help us shape our ideas,
reflect on our passions and commit ourselves to use the
arts as a trade route on which we can still bargain for the
South Africa that we all ideally aspire.

Helping to make art accessible

tandard Bank is delighted to have
come aboard as a sponsor of Cape
Towns newest arts festival the Cape
Town Fringe. Now in its second year the
Cape Town Fringe aims to make the arts
accessible to a much broader slice of the
population. The Cape Town Fringe is,
brought to audiences by the National Arts
Festival.
Standard Bank is proud to sponsor
an event that celebrates the arts in the
heart of Cape Town and to provide a
platform for independent artists to make
their voices heard through a celebration of
live performances that are socially aware,
outspoken, confident and entertaining.
As long-time supporters of the arts,
The Cape Town Fringe is a natural fit for
Standard Bank and an extension of our
National Arts Festival sponsorship which
allows Standard Bank to engage with new
audiences in the Western Cape.
Standard Banks commitment to investing across the arts
spectrum on the continent represents a 30-year legacy. The
arts in Africa are a powerful expression of our creativity and
play an integral part in generating a positive narrative with a

irreverent, madly comic but poignant look
at Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy
and Pride, the notorious deadly sins. With
ebullience and dynamism, McIlroy and
Bobbert keep their audience in stitches from
beginning to end. These very talented and
skilled comics deliver their gags with aplomb
and exquisite timing. There is also enough
physical comedy to keep everyone rolling in
the aisles, theatre critic Keith Millar (ArtSmart.

wonderful, uninhibited and escapist fun from

An Extraordinarily Ordinary Life is a musical

memoir comedy performed by and
introducing The Capetonians, comprising
Grassy Park born Janine Cupido singing
ten new folk-hop songs from Cape Town
born songwriter Jervis Pennington (The Soft
Shoes, Scribble, A Town called Fokol-Lutho.)
The music is drawn from and woven into his
hilarious but frequently shambolic life, from
famous to homeless in the blink of an eye.
This thoughtful and highly original recording
acts debut show has been described as a
unique piece of theatre combining Jervis
raw, really funny and brutally honest dialogue
with Janines mesmerizing singing voice.

alternative and jazz, Acatears fuses Sotho

In a society scaffolded by the bones of

heteronormativity, the social and pop
culture shift towards embracing alternative
masculinity, a VICHISTRAVRYA, is being
defined by E! Entertainment and Facebook
Pride photos. The queer body becomes
queer commodity. Witness the deity of sexual
freedom and genderless power ADAM invade
Earth in song to carry the arms of these
Vichistravrya, these strange masculinities
whose voices are not being heard, but
transposed through the mouth of Nick Jonas.

Barred is a new site-specific production that

has been exclusively made to be performed
in the stylish, old-world, jazz sounding space
that is the Alexander Bar. Many may come
in and out of this local watering hole, but
the ones that are of most importance are
those that have been admitted to the Bar, the
Lawyers. They say the walls have ears, and
that one should always cover your tracks,
but these lawyers have made no objection,
overruled no hearing and admitted to their
crimes. Court Adjourned.

Winner of a 2015 Standard Bank Ovation

Award, Ashes is a hard-hitting two-hander
chronicling the life of a young gay man
through the eyes of six characters. It tenderly
explores his small-town upbringing, his
entrance into adulthood, and the excitement
and thrill of first love. A sudden, violent event
ruptures the world of the characters, forcing
them to pick up the pieces in the void that
remains. Presented by the award-winning

Described as one of the genres highlights
(Cape Times), Detritus for One is a Standard
Bank Ovation Award winning production that
playfully explores the relationship between
performance and memory. All dances
disappear. Its just how they are. Once a
dance is done, only its detritus remains
costumes, props and the hazy half-memories
of those who saw it. Detritus for One presents
a solo performer, determined to remember
and recapture dances locked in the past for
an audience in the present.

story is vibrantly brought to the stage through

song. Madlamini is a strict, God-loving woman
from a rural village who travels to Egoli, the
city of gold, in search of her husband. He
left their home for the big city in order to find
a job and make some money for his family.
However, his plans were derailed when he
got sucked into the fast and dangerous life
of the big city and now she is on a journey to
find him.

Performance Art (Exhibition and discussion)

Exhibit S, Ode to Saartjie Baartman by a Black
South African Woman is a poetic performance
art piece inspired by misrepresention, art and
the story of a woman. Saartjie Baartman was
from a khoikhoi ethnic group in the Eastern
Cape, born exactly 200 years before Antamu,
in 1789. She lived to be only 24 , after a life of
seemingly never-ending struggles. She was
bought as a showpiece by an Englishman
and smuggled to England never to set foot
on her home soil again. This is her story fused
with Antamus and told through, speech, skin,
and movement.

Douche is a physical exploration of what it

means to be a man. Masculinity can have
various forms, and is, at times, sensitive.
What happens when ones masculinity
is compromised? How far does one go
to maintain the masculine facade and to
what lengths? Four men collide in a space
where different mascunities encounter each
other and the outcomes provide a visceral
experience.

Featuring: Masixole Heshu, Ryan Napier,

Jonathan Georgiades, Sandisile Dlangalala.

Should fat people not just commit suicide,

seeing that they are already killing themselves
by choice anyway? When you see an
overweight person, you simply cannot resist
feeling revolted by the sight of them. So look
once, look twice, but dont look away as this
drama reveals the terrifying labyrinth of what
it means to be a fat person in a so-called
normal society. Will any fat person survive
such an onslaught? Is self-loathing and
loneliness the path that leads to suicide? Who
can save the Fat Man? Who is holding the
gun, You or the Fat Man?

Jungle Theatre Companys new production
is based on the re-telling of a traditional Zulu
folktale. The play is set in ancient times on the
Wild Coast, before people knew how to tell
stories. Manzandaba and Zenzele, a married
couple, are two of the first people. They go on
an adventure in search of stories that lead to
magical creatures under the ocean. The story
is brought to life in English and isiXhosa with
African music, comical characters and masks.
It is aimed at children older than 4.

beatboxing, the outcome sounds fresh and
one of a kind. Song writing has never met
beatboxing in this way before. These two
outstanding musicians combine their tastes
and talents into a show that is truly unique.
Armed with just a guitar, a distinctive singing
voice, and a versatile voice-box, that adds
instruments from winds to drums, the duo
leaves their audience initially speechless,
then makes them totally freak out! Their live

MICHAEL
LOWMAN
the project room
Music
Durban born. Jozi raised. L.A made. Cape
Town based. Michael Lowman is far from your
regular, run-of-the-mill, schooled and bread
musician. His story is different. Something
penned straight out of the HollywoodUnderdog playbook. At the not-so-tender
age of 17, Michael picked up a guitar for
the first time. There was never any looking
back and no denying his unbelievable
talent. Songwriting came naturally for this
John Mayer inspired guitarist and he soon
found himself in Los Angeles, heart firmly
pinned and exposed. Fast forward to 2013
and Michael released his debut album,
Crayon Boxes, through Universal Music the
response has been unforgettable. Not only
has he since performed for and supported
international stars like Tori Amos and UB40,
but he has also shared the stage with African
Mega Stars Mafikizolo, when he was asked to
open up the 2014 MTV African Music Awards
ceremony. There is no denying that Lowman
is one of South Africas most prized musical
talents. Its only a matter of time before the
world starts making their claim.

Mooi Street Moves is a modern South African

classic by famed local playwright Paul
Slabolepszy. This is a tragicomic look at a
white country bumpkin and a black urban
hustler thrown together in 1993 in a Hillbrow
flat. When a devastated Henry shows up in
Stixs flat looking for his brother Steve, Stix has
no choice but to take him in and prepare him
for survival. This play will amuse with its comic
exploration of cultural clashes, and move one

so likely to offend the squares and titillate the

produce it. There was also a space issue and

PANSA award winning and multi Naledi

nominated writer Jannes Erasmus presents
Still; the gripping tale of a sisters endless
endeavour to find her missing little brother.
She dedicates her life to find him; in a very
odd way...with photography. How much
negatives can one person develop, how
many stills before she gets it right, and is
he really missing or is she missing...him?
Character, like a photograph, develops in
darkness. Sometimes its not the moments
captured on film but the moments between
each shot that make life worth living.
Photography is the art of frozen time... the
ability to store emotion and feelings within a
frame by holding it still. Multi Award winning

scopes of all things Up and Down. The
costumes will captivate, the performers will

opportunity to connect with the emotions
they experience in their worlds. Created
