Specially prepared for South African audiences by the artistic director Anatoly Emelianov, the carefully selected line-up has been chosen with the express aim to thrill classical ballet enthusiasts of all ages. The programme opens with the world premiere of Emelianov’s ‘Manfred’, a one-act ballet choreographed to one of Tchaikovsky’s undoubted masterpieces, the symphony ‘Manfred’. The narrative for this work deals with Riaan Manser deep remorse and moral anguish, coming from Lord Byron’s poem of the same name. Manfred is a Romantic hero of epic and Faustian proportions. In his idealistic dilemma he is doomed to destroy the very ones he loves. Imbued with supernatural elements, the metaphysical torment of Manfred is given the choreographic stamp that audiences internationally have come to associate with the work of Emelianov. The second half features the one-act ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and an excerpt from ‘The Sleeping Beauty’. Danced to Tchaikovsky’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ overture and featuring choreography by Emelianov, this work of burning Final few days of Suidoosterfees at venues across city The annual Suidoosterfees – now in its 12th year – is winding down and Capetonians can catch the tailend of the festival over the weekend until Sunday, May 3.

Madam Flora’s game soon turns deadly when she feels ghosts choking her, becomes paranoid and loses control.

PETER TROMP chatted to VILJOEN and the titular star of the show, EMILY CHILD, both of whom were crowned winners at the 50th Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards ceremony in March. To know one character, or person, as well as we get to know Laura, but shed light on what we didn’t know about ourselves. That’s my considered, responsible answer. The more instinctual answer is: I hope the play knocks you down and manhandles you until you relent and give in. LOUIS VILJOEN ‘The Pervert Laura’ is a very dark and disturbing work. What sparked the premise for the play in your mind and led you down that creative path? I find it quite easy to access the darker parts of myself. I believe we all have such rich wells of abhorrent thoughts, however we’re taught to suppress it and pretend it doesn’t exist. But it does, and I suppose I trade in it. I knew I wanted to write something with a female protagonist, or the main protagonist, and the idea seemed to suit that goal. If I trace the origin of the whole thing, it’ll be the desire to write something that fully resembles a character study and in the final moments becomes more of a genre piece. In that way I believe it rewards an audience if they re-watch it. You’ve had a couple of plays in recent years where females didn’t feature as much, or at all. Did you feel pressure at all to address that by writing a play with a female as the chief protagonist? Well, I’ve written more plays with female characters than without. ‘The Verbalists’ and ‘The Kingmakers’ feature roles for women, and ‘Champ’ has an integral female role, but those plays were admittedly masculine in its approach. I didn’t feel pressure to write one thing or another; it was just the idea that suited a woman better than a man. Did you write the titular character with Emily Child in mind? Once I had the idea and I knew it would be next thing I dedicated myself to, I knew I wanted to write it for Emily. We’re friends and we’ve worked together before, but I felt it was time that both of us do something outside our comfort zones. I’ve been a fan of hers for quite some time and I wanted to see her in a role that she could claim wholly as her Emily Child and Guy de Lancey in a scene from ‘The Pervert Laura’ own. She did and then some. You must have felt tremendous pride when Emily won the Best Actress prize at the Fleur du Caps. What was coursing through your mind as her name was read out? “Holy f**k holy f**k holy f**k YES!!” Nick Pauling and I were working out the odds for weeks before the ceremony: If this one wins this award, then it opens up Emily to win, or if that play does well it means she’ll be up against whomever, and so on and so on, trying to figure the odds. But when she won it made sense; it was the truest performance in the group and it was a tough group. I felt immense pride for my friend and I also thought she looked fantastic in that dress. You yourself won the Rozalie van der Gucht prize for New Director, as well as the Best New Play award for ‘The Kingmakers’. How does that validation feel? Does it imbue in you at all a renewed sense of confidence going forward with future projects? I’ve never needed validation when it comes to my writing, as awful as that sounds. I had to work for years without that validation and still attempt a few plays a year. But when it comes to the directing it feels great to be recognized and it certainly gives me confidence to direct more. Perhaps even to try other people’s scripts. What do you hope audiences walk away with after having seen ‘The Pervert Laura’? I hope the effect of the play, the shock of it, gets mixed in with the raw honesty that we’re aiming for. What is the biggest challenge for you about being a “living playwright” in South Africa? Honestly? Money. I won’t get rich doing this, but if I can live and pay rent each month, have a drink with my friends and see my mom for Christmas, then that’s a pretty good life. Oh; and to keep being true to myself and not resort to work that others think I should be making. If you try make something for everyone, you’ll end up making nothing for no one. What can we expect from you next? I’m working on a few scripts at the moment, which is to say that I’m horribly blocked and I feel emptier than a matinee for one of my shows. My main goal is to get ‘Laura’ up and running at The Fugard and to find another life and run for ‘The Kingmakers’. More people need to see actors like Pierre Malherbe, Rebecca Makin-Taylor and Brendon Daniels and if someone else stages ‘The Kingmakers’, you can see all three on the same stage. That’s my pitch from now on. EMILY CHILD Is it fair to say the role of Laura is the most challenging you’ve ever tackled? The role I am playing at the time is always the most challenging. The more I perform, the more I realise how much there is to learn. So yes, Laura is my most challenging role to date, but when I take on a new play, that role will take its place. Tell us about the process you underwent to “find” the character. My starting point is always in the text. Louis’ writing is incredibly detailed and deeply sophisticated. Every pause or ellipsis means something that is very specific to the character and to the story. I spent (and am still spending) a lot of time reading and re-reading the play. His work forces you to go down a sort of vortex. By being sucked into it, the character starts to become clear. That, and I Emily Child and Louis Viljoen at the Fleur du Cap Awards in March Googled images a lot…“ troubled young women” was helpful. Also,“ love or hate therapy.” You would be amazed by what comes up. Leading from the above, how do you go about getting yourself into the mental state that is required to portray the character truthfully on performance nights? I am a big believer in an old-school physical warm up. I don’t think your mind can engage honestly if your body is still stuck with your personal stress from the day. I role around and hum a lot. I think the most important thing when trying to do anything truthfully is not to have your head somewhere else. I’m not one of those actors who sits in a dark corner for hours “getting into it”. I think the great challenge and thrill of acting is learning how to “step into it” and “be present”, as they say. I do like to choose a specific “smell” for each character I play though so I always give myself a final spray of something a minute or two before the show starts. What went through your mind when your name was called out to receive the prize for Best Actress at this year’s Fleur du Cap Awards? “But it was supposed to be Sandra Prinsloo!” I was very surprised and happy. Awards are so helpful in marketing shows. It means a lot to be celebrated by your colleagues and peers. Actors usually play coy when it comes to awards, saying that in the bigger scheme of things that they don’t matter, or shouldn’t matter, at the very least. Surely you felt some form of validation after having taken a risk with such a demanding role… I agree that awards should never define an actor or their career, but who am I kidding – it feels good to win something! I think it’s human to enjoy a pat on the back every now and again, especially when it is for something you really believe in. This play is an ensemble piece so it also felt like a high five for our team. It is a great privilege to be working with people like Guy, Nick, Sarah, Terry and Louis. How challenging was it dealing with the nudity and sexual content in the show? The first few rehearsals were a little giggly, hot- flushed and sweaty, but we all relaxed very quickly. The focus shifts from being about the sexual act, to what that act means in relation to Laura and her story. You forget that what you are doing might seem shocking to an audience because you are focused on doing what you are doing honestly. Louis Viljoen has a very specific rhythm with his prose that not all actors can deal with. How challenging is it for you getting used to those speech patterns? It definitely takes a little bit of getting used to, but the trick seems to be to say what the character says, exactly as it is written. Actors often enjoy adding pauses and paraphrasing for the sake of “emotion”. Louis’ writing has taught me to fight these impulses and in doing so, experience a freedom in his language. Finally, what can we expect from you next? I will be performing in Barney Simon’s ‘Born in the RSA’, directed by Thoko Ntshinga at the Grahamstown Festival and at The Baxter Theatre later this year. I’m really looking forward to that. * ‘The Pervert Laura’ will be showing at the Fugard Studio from May 6 to 23, with performances taking place from Tuesdays to Saturdays, at 8pm nightly.

Set in the Cape Flats in the seventies, during the forced removals, the play tells the story of the gang leader Map Jacobs (Paige) who comes out of jail on parole, and the impact on the community to which he returns. ‘Cinnamon’ dancers T he Afrika Ablaze dance production ‘Cinnamon’ is currently being showcased at the Baxter Theatre until Saturday, May 2. ‘Cinnamon’ is an exotic tapestry of a dance/drama that explores the sacredness of joy along with loyalty and love against a backdrop of greed, obsession and misguidance. The story of the young girl Cinnamon invites the audience to bear witness to her mythical journey from a world she is familiar with, to a world she doesn’t recognise. Compelled by tragedy, Cinnamon ventures from her ancestral home amongst the wolves, to deliver an unforgettable message to mankind. Director Glenda Jones as a choreographer has for the past 13 years transformed many young lives through the influence of dance and drama. Her 2013 production, ‘Raw Silk’, was well received when it was showcased at the Baxter Theatre. ‘Cinnamon’ will be performed by a cast of energetic and motivated dancers, lead by Chelsea Jacobs, who will be making her debut as lead dancer. To enhance the authenticity of the story, Jones has trained a group of mature women who portray the ancestral tribe that Cinnamon hails from. Jones believes that their dance performance is a breakthrough in a world that can easily confuse the higher purpose of dance with age related bias and physical idolatry. UCT Drama graduate Tasneem Jakoet will perform as the narrator. * Tickets are R100. Book at Computicket. visit www.facebook.com/afrikaablaze. When did you discover your love of performance, and how did you go about carving out a career for yourself? I was 15 years old when I discovered that I’m a performer when I entered the KKNK festival. I had a week to prepare for a character and won that year’s Best Supporting Actor award. I’ve never looked back since. Tell us about ‘Krismis Van Map Jacobs’ and what audiences can look forward to. The play is very close to my heart and I’ve always wanted to do it. I’ve been waiting 10 years to do this character, so I’m very exciting, but at the same time I’m also quite nervous because it’s a very difficult part to play. The audiences can definitely expect a different, vibrant “Map” from Maurice Paige. What personally attracted you to become involved with the production? The fact that I always wanted to do this play is what attracted me to this project. When I received the call from director Andre Samuels, I immediately said yes without hesitation (laughs). Tel: 021 802 4848 E-mail: [email protected] www.48hours.co.za What is it about the theatre that continues to attract you to it? What excited me about theatre is that its now, its live and you only have that moment to make it work and believable to your audience. It’s that rush and presence of 110 people or so’s attention that gives me that drive. Tell us about your role and how you have gone about inhabiting the character. The role is a very hard, dramatic part, but in order to give the audience a different view of “Map” I’m playing against the obvious and how others have played it. Audiences perhaps know you best from television for the role you play in ‘Isidingo’. What is it like transition- * Performances will take place at 10.30am and 2pm daily. Book at Computicket. Woman with a Baby On Her Back CONTACT: ing from a soap to acting live in front of a theatre audience? My first love is for the stage, so for me to transform or switch my mind to a live stage setting is real easy, because I’ve never changed my mindset, or performance style, because TV will never swallow me (laughs). What can we look forward to you in the future, and are there any roles that you would especially love to play? My future plans are big. I want to do lots of movies. My first big lead movie in a movie this year will be ‘Pop, Lock ‘n Roll’, which I’m shooting in September. I’m very exciting as it takes me back to my dancing days. Then of course there’s the stage. I try to do at least one stage play a year to stay theatre fit.

Is enough of this being done and are the artists who have stories to tell, telling their stories? In 2004 Hugh Masekela published his compelling autobiography, ‘Still Grazing: The Musical Journey of Hugh Masekela’ (coauthored with D. Michael Cheers), which Vanity Fair described as follows: “you’ll be in awe of the many lives packed into one.” (Try find it in a bookshop now in South Africa.) Last year we had PJ Powers releasing her book entitled ‘Here I am’, which was a sweet read, but nothing of real substance except an opportunity for PJ to tell her story. Call it a vanity project if you will .My point is a book should have something to say. Even the Sachin Tendulkar cricket book was a bland read and just went over the facts, which you had read in previous press articles. The reason I talk about books this week is I saw on Facebook that Cindy Alter’s much anticipated autobiography ‘No Substitute’ will be on book shelves on May 25. Alter is an internationally successful, award winning, chart topping, multi-million album selling singer songwriter from South Africa.

Alter currently resides in Johannesburg and is a full-time working musician who continues to perform and record and release new music. Hopefully Alter tells the stories, even if they are awkward and uncomfortable and the book is not just another puff piece, which is important, as a book like this can be so inspirational to younger generations to learn from. It is a shame that in the music space we are not currently seeing the stories being put down in print for future generations to read.

Working with a diverse community of children from all backgrounds, Zip Zap helps kids to ‘dare to dream’ and learn to make those dreams a reality. 2 May Johnny Clegg must have one heck of a story and so must the likes of Ray Phiri from Stimela. Imagine the stories about the ‘Graceland’ tour with the likes of Tony Cedras et al. Is it that we find South African music stories not interesting enough, or do we rely on television documentaries to try and tell the story? Books and reading help foster a culture of learning and this can only be good for future generations of children who are interested in music and this can surely help foster a love of the arts for the greater good of all South Africans.

With her universe turned upside down, she ignores words of wisdom from her favourite teacher (Ken Jeong) and enlists Wesley (Robbie Amell), a slick but charming jock, to help set her apart from the pack and erase her label forever. In doing so, she hopes to land her crush Toby (Nick Eversman), and find the confidence to overthrow the school’s ruthless label maker Madison (Bella Thorne) by reminding everyone that no matter what people look or act like, we are all someone’s DUFF...and that’s totally fine. Executive Producer Lane Shefter FILM: GET HARD CAST: WILL FERRELL, KEvIN HART, ALISON bRIE, CRAIG T. NELSON, TIP ‘T.I.’ HARRIS DIRECTOR: ETAN COHEN When millionaire hedge fund manager James (Will Ferrell) is nailed for fraud and bound for a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives him 30 days to get his affairs in order. Desperate, he turns to Darnell (Kevin Hart) to prep him for a life behind bars. But despite James’ one-percenter assumptions, Darnell is a hard-working small business owner who has never received a parking ticket, let alone been to prison. Together, the two men do whatever it takes for James to “get hard” and, in the process, discover how wrong they were about a lot of things – including each other. The idea for ‘Get Hard’ originated with producing partners Will Ferrell and Adam McKay imagining what the average person might do if suddenly seized from a nice, comfortable life and confronted with the prospect of a 10-year stretch behind bars. Ferrell, who stars as a man in exactly that situation, recalls them “spit-balling about what that moment would be like, if, for whatever reason, you found out that you were going to prison. Bishop first learned of the novel ‘The Duff’ when she saw the partially written book in the office of Joanna Stampfel-Volpe, a book agent in New York. Bishop instantly loved the title and the idea, and read the book that night. The next day, she called Stampfel-Volpe and asked for the chance to secure a movie deal. Bishop immediately sent the project to producers McG and Mary Viola of Wonderland Sound and Vision and said, “You have to read this now!” “We got about 100 pages of the book in manuscript form” says Viola. “Lane emphasized that the book was very special.” Like Bishop, Viola read the pages overnight. “I called Lane the next day and said ‘This is amazing. The voice is so original. We have to get this book,’” she says. McG agreed. “I just thought it was something that was ‘zeitgeisty’, of-the-moment – so relatable and just true to life,” he says. The producers were soon surprised to find that the original voice belonged to author Kody What would be your thought process? How would you prepare? Would you immediately try to flee the country? “It’s one of those nightmares you have about how you might survive,” Ferrell continues. “You think, ‘I’d have to learn how to fight, or how to perform sexual favours. I’d probably have to join a gang’ — all those things you get from watching prison shows on TV where you realize, ‘I’d be killed immediately. Keplinger, who wrote the book titled ‘The Duff’ when she was just 17 years-old. “We had no idea she was a teenager until Lane was working out the details of the deal and Kody said she would need to discuss it with her mother, “says Viola. Bishop says, “I thought, ‘This cannot be a 17-year-old. She has the high school voices down, but this is someone who knows how to write because the emotion woven throughout is dead on.’ There’s a lot going on (in the book) and a lot of complexity underneath it all.” McG and Viola had previously worked with the film’s director Ari Sandel, the Academy Award winning director, producer and writer of the comedic short film ‘West Bank Story’, on the action webisode series, ‘Aim High’, about a 16year old high school student who lives a double life as a teen spy. For Sandel, the opportunity to make a teen comedy (a genre that he has long admired) was one he couldn’t pass up. “I think any comedy director is excited at the opportunity of doing a high school film because we all grew up with iconic high school films, whether it’s John Hughes’ films or ‘Mean Girls’ or ‘Superbad’. Those movies really stick with you through your teenage years.” McG believes that one of the keys to making a really funny comedy is getting the actors to feel comfortable on set and keeping an environment where the actors are allowed to play. Sandel encouraged the cast to bring their own real life high school perspectives and experiences to the film. Star Mae Whitman credits Sandel for keeping the delicate tone of being funny while still having heart and depth. She felt very in tune and collaborative with her director. “We played a lot and we tried a million different things on set,” she says. Or I’d be someone’s bitch.’” He gets no argument there from Kevin Hart. “I’d give him seven minutes,” jokes Hart, who stars opposite Ferrell in this outrageous and satirical comedy about two guys who work in the same building but live in different worlds, until they strike an unusual and potentially life-changing deal that challenges their most basic – and hilariously off-base – preconceptions about so many things.

Besides resulting in sustained energy levels, improved concentration and increased stamina, low-GI eating holds the following specific health benefits: lowered and stabilised blood glucose levels in diabetics; easier permanent weightloss; improved concentration in children with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD); improved performance for sportsmen and women; and reduced cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Gabi Steenkamp and Liesbet Delport have put together the best and popular recipes from the series, which includes four titles for everyday use. The family-friendly recipes include low GI versions of popular dishes like scones, creamy spinach soup and desserts – proving that you don’t have to sacrifice taste or indulgence for good health. The detailed introduction explains exactly how the Glycaemic Index works, and gives practical guidelines on low-GI, low- fat eating for specific conditions. The handy GI food lists will become an indispensable tool in identifying suitable food types and products. Gabi, a registered dietician, has been in private practice for over 25 years, specialising in the nutrition management of diabetes and colon dysfunction.

With this exhibition, the Cape Town based Rossouw continues the exploration of identity and silent triumph of the subjects he photographs, which he first established in his debut series, ‘Dark Paradise’. The use of light and shadow with nontraditional photographic lighting sources is a signature of his stylistic approach. He believes each model remains an active collaborator to the process. “The previously poetic play of botanical accents from ‘Dark Paradise’, however, now evolves to what I see as a deeper, more wistful study. An expression of self amidst the metaphor of broken, lost, and discarded things. The still strength of will. A quiet war won,” says Rossouw. A self-taught fine art photographer, Rossouw has been pursuing professional photography since 2009. His first international exhibition was held at The Box Gallery in Hamburg in 2013, and his influences include Caravaggio, American photographer David LaChapelle and Tretchikoff. * The exhibition will be open daily from 10am to 6pm.

Award-winning comedian David Kau is in the driver’s seat for the one night only event, which also features an entourage of some of South Africa’s top black comedians. ‘Blacks Only Comedy’ takes place on Saturday, May 9, at the Grand Arena. Comedy fans can expect an evening of unbridled laughter as the comedians unmask their hysterical and revealing views on a range of uniquely-South African issues. “We are thrilled to bring back ‘Blacks Only Comedy’ to our stage for another evening of side-splitting, authentically South African comedy. ‘Blacks Only Comedy’ is the fastest growing comedy brand in the country and is one of the most anticipated events on GrandWest’s event calendar.

Over the past decade, ‘Blacks Only Comedy’ has become renowned for featuring seasoned stand-up talent and budding comics. True to its roots, the “cast” of ‘Blacks Only Comedy’ primarily comprises people and puppets of colour. Kau has been on the South African comedy scene since 1998 when he became the first black comedian to perform at the Smirnoff Comedy Festival in Cape Town. That and the raging success of Blacks Only Comedy are among Kau’s many highlights. * Tickets are available at Computicket and are priced from R150 to R230 per person.

Last year the Dean Kannemeyertrained Power King made a bold bid to win all three legs of the male Winter Series, winning the first two legs before finishing just 1,25 lengths back in second in the final leg.
