Deur Jaco Lotriet Somtyds is ons nie daartoe in staat om ons omstandighede te verander nie. Dit verander ons… Jeremia 31:15: “‘n Gekerm word op Rama gehoor, ‘n gehuil vol hartseer. Ragel treur oor haar kinders, sy wil haar nie laat troos nie want haar kinders is weg.” Hierdie Bybelse vers het Sink skrywer, vervaardiger en regisseur Brett Michael Innes genoop om pen op papier ...

Deur Jaco Lotriet ‘n Portret van die laaste dae van ‘n sterwende gemeenskap. Die afgeleë Patagonië streek van Argentinië is sowat 7,500km vanaf die Suid-Afrikaanse weskus gevestig. 113 Jaar gelede, het ongeveer 650 boerefamilies die onstuimige Suid-Atlantiese oseaan oorgesteek – ‘n skeepvaart wat maande lank geduur het. Aanboord, tydens die vele eenrigting togte tussen 1902 en 1908, is hegte vriendskapsbande gesmee tussen mense wat mekaar ...

Afrikaanse Riller Ontwaak op Silwer Doek Deur Louw Mulder   Die afgelope jaar was Afrikaanse film-liefhebbers bederf gewees met ‘n hele kaleidoskoop van flieks. Van Balade vir ‘n Enkeling, Die Pro, selfs ‘n Pawpaw vir my Darling, het Afrikaanse filmmakers regtig die grense geskuif ten opsigte van die verskillende genres van hulle films. Met ‘n Psigologiese Riller in Afrikaans het Johnny Breedt glad nie vir ...

Vir Altyd, in ‘n Oomblik Deur Louw Mulder   Stage and Screen was breë-bors trots om deel te kon wees van die amptelike premiere van Vir Altyd, wat verlede week in Fourways gehou is. By moontlik een van die beste georganiseerde film premieres wat ons nog bygewoon het, was die kwaliteit, en die hoër geligte standaarde in hierdie industrie, skitterend sigbaar. In die Afrikaanse filmbedryf, ...

You’re just too good to be true, Can’t take my eyes off of you.. By Jaco Lotriet   2016 is the year of Tribute shows at the Joburg Theatre. Showtime’s Queen – It’s a Kinda Magic, just took their final bow on the Nelson Mandela Stage, and Forever Jackson and Always and Forever – A Tribute to Luther Vandross, is still to come… For now, ...

Rodriguez Killed the Sugarman By Louw Mulder   For a person not very familiar with the music of 73 year old Sixto Rodriguez, I was quite pleased to enjoy a well-entertaining experience at the first Live Show of this Rock and Blues artist, at the Ticket-Pro Dome. The Dome was at full capacity and the show was exactly what you’d come to expect from Big Concerts ...

By Louw Mulder   It is one of those theatre productions that makes you leave the Teatro with a smile, and the tune of an old classic stuck in your head. With all departments and components of Musical Theatre coming together perfectly, I can summarise Pieter Toerien’s production of Singin’ in the Rain, as a delightful, feel-good Musical, as showcased by the cream of South ...

by Louw Mulder It is all in name, but a little understated I think. I am referring to the opening production of the Joburg Theatre’s 2016 calender, Queen – It’s a Kinda Magic. No question about the magic, but more of a magical explosion, taking you to the heart, right in the middle of what you could have experienced from the real band, called Queen. ...

by Louw Mulder So what do you get when Afrikaans Boy Band meets Former Idols Top 10 Finalist? You get an EP Album that can easily be put on repeat. A successful project like this is not to be underestimated, seeing that you have Daniel Baron, who opened for Bon Jovi in 2013, and Adam, the award winning Boy Band who opened for Westlife and ...

 By Louw Mulder   Whenever there is such a massive build up to an event, and by this I mean a period of anticipation to see Michael Flatley’s Lord of the Dance since I could remember, the expectations would set a benchmark that may sometimes be difficult to satisfy. This, however, was not the case with Lord of the Dance: Dangerous Games, which exceeded all ...

by Louw Mulder There was something in the air that night, the stars were bright, at Montecasino’s Teatro, for the Opening of the Mamma Mia World tour in Johannesburg. With this production’s third time in South Africa, the second being a UK Cast, this ever-popular Musical created just as much anticipation this time around…. So Mamma Mia, Here I go again. I don’t wanna talk, ...
