The popular Cape Town Edge will take up residence at the Princess Alice Hall in Grahamstown, offering a record eleven shows at this year’s National Arts Festival.
The pioneering initiative is a collective of independent theatre makers presenting ground-breaking work originating from Cape Town. Supported by Pro Helvetia Cape Town through its mandate with the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, Cape Town Edge (CTE) is now in its fourth year, and has become a firm favourite at the Festival – as much for its cutting-edge shows on offer as for the delicious sustenance provide front of house.
“From seven shows in 2007, Cape Town Edge is proud to be showcasing a record eleven productions this year,” says Jaqueline Dommisse of Hearts & Eyes Theatre Collective, a CTE co-founding company. “There is something for everyone, from comedy, drama and breath-taking visual theatre, to beautiful human stories and entertainment for our younger audiences.” “With a longer festival, we have been able to accommodate more productions in an almost two-phased format of the run,” adds Tanya Surtees of FTH:K, the other founding company of CTE.
The 2010 line-up is: «Rumpsteak» (21 – 29 June at 10am); «London Road» (20 June – 4 July at 12 noon, except June 28); «Man Turn Life Up and Down » (20-26 June at 2pm); «Tseleng: The Baggage of Bags» (20 June – 26 June at 4pm); «Ncamisa! The Women» (20 June – 28 June at 6pm); «I, Claudia» (20 June – 26 June at 8pm); «Indlovu People» (30 June – 4 July at 10am); «QUACK! » (27 June–3 July at 2pm); «…miskien» (Sun 27 June – 3 July at 4pm); «Paraphernalia» (29 June – 3 July at 6pm) and «Pictures of You» (27 June – 3 July at 8pm).
