A 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 will return to the Theatre of Marcellus stage at Emperors Palace with a new stage production, Mannequin, from August 18 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 — 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.
The 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 multi-award winning designer Floris Louw.
Mannequin, set to captivate audiences with its masterful blend of music, storytelling and breathtaking costumes, will be performed from Wednesdays to Saturdays at 8.30pm, and on Sunday afternoons at 3pm.
