Nataniël’s Mannequin at Emperors Palace
Multi-talented stalwart of the South African entertainment industry for over two decades, Nataniël is more than just a producer, director, designer, playwright, public speaker and performer - he is a true icon of stage and screen.
Nataniël’s new show, Mannequin, will run at the Theatre of Marcellus stage at Emperors Palace to September 25.
The production tells the story of an author who toys with the idea of writing a book about the life of a reclusive tailor.
Mannequin is the story told by his tailor.
It is a tale of surprise, fear, cruelty, humour, truth and fantasy.
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 the ’80s.
Nataniël will share the stage with long-time fellow musicians Charl du Plessis (keyboards), Juan Oosthuizen (guitars), Werner Spies (bass), Hugo Radyn (drums) and favourite singers Nicolaas Swart and Dihan Slabbert.
This show, structured around stories told in both English and Afrikaans, is about visual beauty and tailoring, and 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.
