Artistic legend returns to the stage

Inspired by his travels and love for both classic and contemporary art, the show takes place in the not-so-distant future and begins on the night when, during a secret ceremony, the last animal on earth is slaughtered and eaten.

The already fragile world immediately starts changing, from the forests to the cities, from the homes of families to the hearts of the most powerful individuals.

This forms the backdrop for Nataniël’s latest stories (in both English and Afrikaans) and songs.

Dark, dramatic, fantastical, funny and surprising, After Animals is a theatrical event not to be missed.

The cast includes Nicolaas Swart (vocals), Francois Joubert (vocals), Martin van Heerden (dancer), Bradley Dreyer (acrobat), Charl du Plessis (keyboard), Juan Oosthuizen (guitar), Werner Spies (bass) and Hugo Radyn (drums).

A highly original and ambitious wardrobe, inspired by sculpture and origami, is being created by multi-award winner Floris Louw.

The staging is designed by Nataniël, with sets and props created by Nadine Minnaar and Stephan Kruger.

Lighting is done by Nataniël and Kevin Stannet.

The theatre piece will be performed in the Theatre of Marcellus between August 20 and September 27.

Between Wednesdays and Saturdays the show will start at 8.30pm.

On Sundays shows start at 3pm.
