ALTYD JONKER
Teks: Saartjie Botha Ontwerp en regie: Jaco Bouwer Musikale regie en komposisie: Janine Neethling Choreografie: Ina Wichterich Beligtingsontwerp: Albert Snyman

Aangewys as die Gewildste Produksie en Beste Musiek-teaterproduksie by die Absa KKNK 2006. Jaco Bouwer is bekroon vir Beste Ontwerp. Moenie hierdie enigste Kaapse speelvak van die bekroonde en ontroerende opvoering misloop nie!
Ingrid Jonker gryp 41 jaar ná haar dood steeds die verbeelding aan, nie net as digter nie, maar as 'n romantiese, tragiese Suid-Afrikaanse Marilyn Monroe-figuur. Haar lewe – die ontwrigte jeugjare en vurige liefdeslewe – en digtersnalatenskap spreek van 'n sensitiewe kunstenaar wat aan 'n ongenaakbare wêreld uitgelewer is. Altyd Jonker is 'n emosioneel meesleurende produksie met 'n sterk visuele impak wat op 'n omvangryke manier hulde bring aan 'n merkwaardige figuur wat voortleef in haar werk en standpunte. En vanweë haar menslikheid.
A theatrical perspective on the life of poet Ingrid Jonker

With Grant Swanby, Leigh Bremridge, Eve Szapira and Rory Acton-Burnell
Winner of Best Writer, Best Director and Audience Favourite Awards in the 2005 PANSA/NLDTF Festival of Contemporary Theatre Readings .
A sizzling new South African comedy telling a sexy little tale of deception in suburbia. Life is very peaceful, simple and almost perfect in the home of newly married Gavin and Cathy. Into this little nest flies Cathy’s older and wiser sister, Traci. Personalities clash and sparks fly, especially when Traci begins a very hot affair with Jared, a young barman who she used to baby-sit. As skeletons come out of the closet and deceptions are revealed, life is suddenly not quite as simple…
Die lewe gaan voorstedelik sy gang in die huis van die pasgetroude Gavin en Cathy. Wanneer Cathy se ouer suster egter kom kuier, spat die vonke, tuimel geraamtes uit kaste en is niks en niemand skielik soos dit blyk te gewees het nie.

Regie: Sandra Temmingh Met David Isaacs, Nicola Hanekom, Mbulelo Grootboom, Andele Nebulane, Coba-Maryn Wilsenach, Anatha Shand, Anele Sithulweni en Nathan Fredericks.
Wanneer twee ryk ouerpare se trouplanne vir hul kinders in die wiele gery word, is hulle woedend. Hulle probeer alles om die spruite se geluk te vernietig, want groot geld is ter sprake. Gelukkig is Scapino, die slinkse kneg (ook 'n niksnuts, skarminkel, leuenaar en maaifoedie), gereed om hemel en aarde te verskuif om die slagoffers te help. Die ouers is nou wel regte hardekoejawels, maar sy slim planne om hulle te uitoorlê, ken geen perke nie. 'n Skreeusnaakse stuk vir ieder en elk wat ooit verlief was of lesse nodig het om verbroude sake reg te ruk!
Strongly influenced by the Italian commedia’ dell arte, Moliere’s Scapin tells the tale of two young men foiled in love when their respective fathers arrive determined to
arry them off . . . but not to the women they’re in love with. The sons appeal to the servant Scapin for help, but with disastrous consequences.

WINSTON MANKUNKU NGOZI
Over the last three decades, formative years in the development of SA jazz, Winston Mankunku has been a beacon for trends and styles in the genre. Today, Mankunku is the foremost exponent of tenor saxophone in South Africa, and one of the most respected jazz composers. While many jazz musicians of his generation chose to pursue international careers, Mankunku remained in South Africa and only travelled internationally more than 25 years after his breakthrough with "Yakhal'Inkomo". For Mankunku artistic authenticity and his relationship with his home audience have been of paramount importance. Over the years he has become a hallmark of spiritual integrity in South African music, and a vital link between the Afro- and American jazz form.

MISA CRIOLLA & NAVIDAD NUESTRA
Met Amanda Strydom en die Stellenbosch Libertas Koor onder leiding van Johan de Villiers en 'n orkes onder leiding van Janine Neethling.
'n Uitsonderlike geleentheid om Amanda Strydom se aangrypende vertolking van twee werke deur die Argentynse komponis, Ariel Ramírez, te beleef. Die komposisies is 'n kombinasies van die ritmes en tradisies van die Spaans-Amerikas en die tradisionele mis (Misa Criolla) en die geboorteverhaal van Christus (Navidad Nuestra). Strydom het die werk in 2005 saam met die Potchefstroomse Universiteitkoor onder leiding van Awie van Wyk aangepak vir slegs een uitvoering in opdrag van die Aardklop Kunstefees. Die wêreldbekende en gerekende Stellenbosch Libertas Koor studeer die werk spesiaal in vir die 4 uitvoerings in die amfiteater.
Written by contemporary (1921- ) Argentine composer, Ariel Ramírez. The Misa Criolla is unique in that it combines the rhythms and traditions of Hispanic America with the traditional religious mass. Composed in 1963, this popular choral work incorporates a variety of Argentine folk styles ranging from the lively dance, carnavalito, for the "Gloria" to the obsessing and almost exasperating rhythm of the chacerera trunca for the "Credo" portion. The "Kyrie" is based on the vidala and baguala rhythms of the Argentine Altiplano while the "Sanctus" features the carnaval cochabambino, a Bolivian folk rhythm. The final "Agnus Dei" takes on the estilo pampeano - intimate, tender and solemn. This famous folk mass is an extraordinary choral work that once again conveys the religious mass through a popular medium of expression.
Ondersteun deur Die Rupert Musiekstigting.

CHRIS CHAMELEON: VOLKLEURMANNETJIE
Chris Chameleon sluit, soos verlede jaar, die somerseisoen af met 'n opvoering waarin hy onder meer sy toonsettings van gedigte deur Ingrid Jonker vertolk. Chameleon, wat die afgelope twee jaar Suid-Afrikaners gaande het met sy vele talente, se jongste opvoering bied 'n outobiografiese reis deur sy loopbaan van vyftien jaar. Volkleurmannetjie vertel die verhaal van sy lewe en loopbaan soos hy dit ervaar, gekrui met sy ryk verbeelding en besondere humorsin. Sien uit na musiek uit sy Boo!-dae, die Ingrid Jonker-toonsettings en van sy liedjies wat geskep is vir 7de Laan en nou op die album 7de Hemel beskikbaar is.
Multi-talented Chris Chameleon takes audiences on an autobiographical journey through his career: from Boo! to Ingrid Jonker to 7de Laan
