Nataniël will return to the Theatre of Marcellus at Emperors Palace with a new stage production, Mannequin, from 18 August to 25 September 2016.
Here are a few reasons why you shouldn’t miss this production.
1. The production is an original South African tale
It tells the story of an author who toys with the idea of writing a book about the life of a reclusive tailor. It is told by his tailor.
2. Mannequin is a lovely theatre mix
Nataniël is known as a food guru and in the theatre space he also mixes different ingredients in his productions to bring a sense of surprise, fear, cruelty, humour, truth and fantasy to audiences.
3. You’ll be the first to hear the original music and new versions of the classics
The show will not only feature original music, but also Nataniël’s surprise versions of a few of the world’s best known songs from the late 60s and 80s.
4. Nataniël reunites with long time musicians
Nataniël will share the stage with his long-time musicians Charl du Plessis (keyboards), Juan Oosthuizen (guitars), Werner Spies (bass), Hugo Radyn (drums) and favourite singers Nicolaas Swart and Dihan Slabbert.
5. The show costumes are out of this world
This show, structured around stories told in both English and Afrikaans, is about visual beauty and tailoring. It features an astounding collection of new costumes by the multi award-winning designer, Floris Louw.
Mannequin is set to captivate audiences with its masterful blend of music, storytelling and breathtaking costumes. It will be performed from Wednesdays to Saturdays at 8pm and on Sunday afternoons at 3pm.
