Mesmerising dance show takes to the stage at Sibaya
Kambakht Ishq 3 is based on two best friends who aren't really good for each other.
MELANIE Kisten Dance Academy’s smash hit, Kambakht Ishq, is back with its signature scintillating, mesmerising, scorching and vibrant dances and comes to the iZulu Theatre at Sibaya Casino on 1 and 2 April.
Conceived, produced and choreographed by Melanie Kisten, Kambakht Ishq 3 (translated as ‘Damn Love’) tells the story of love, infidelity and reconciliation as lived by a host of distinctly Chatsworth characters, complemented by dynamic and vibrant choreography. It is bound to keep the audience spellbound.
Kambakht Ishq 3 marks the 20th year of The Melanie Kisten Dance Academy, which is a dance school and a production academy. It trains students in a myriad dance forms and produces and participates in major performing arts projects.
The story is based around two best friends, one of who is bored in his marriage and the other who is a couple of bob short of a Rand. They confide in each other about their unhappiness in their lives until one day, one of them suddenly finds a way to cure his boredom and invites trouble into his life when he gets an idea after meeting a ‘hot babe’ via social media.
He is tricked into believing that he can have his bread buttered on both sides by having found another relationship outside his marriage and having his friend always cover his tracks, but only to find out that his perfect life is about to turn his world upside down when he finds out that his wife also has some hidden agendas.
This rollicking production allows you to laugh your socks off at the antics of two friends who aren’t really good for each other, a wife who nags, a nosy neighbour, a manipulative fortune-teller, a girl who is lost and a dance teacher who was found. Buckle up for a rollercoaster ride of emotions, suspense and betrayal, embrace the music and enthral yourself with the high energy and emotionally-charged dance sequences by the dancers of MKDA. Feel the music, feel the story, feel the excitement and fall in love all over again.
Tickets cost between R120 and R150 through Computicket or contact 083 235 1207.
