Jam to some golden oldies from the 60s and 70s and follow up on Blu and his family's adventures in the much-anticipated animated film, Rio 2.

Rio 2 Opens – 11 April

It’s a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids in, after they’re hurtled from Rio de Janeiro to the wilds of the Amazon rainforest. As Blu tries to fit in, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel, and meets the most fearsome adversary of all – his father-in-law. With the voices of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Bruno Mars and Jamie Foxx. Showing at all good cinemas.

 

Retrofest at NIROX Sculpture Park – 12 April

The 60s and 70s were a time when music changed the world. A time of peace and love where anything was possible.

Retrofest will celebrate the beauty of those times with local musicians performing songs and spreading the messages of an era since passed. Look forward to the likes of Josie Field, Laurie Levine, and Idols winner David van Vuuren. The park’s natural surroundings and manicured landscape are the perfect environment to experience some of the greatest songs ever written.

WHEN: Saturday 12 April at 10am

What the Water Gave Me – 11 and 12 April 

The production is an elemental exploration which digs up gestures and stories that have been buried in the darkness of Cape Town`s history. Flowing from lush stories of ancient majiks to gritty tales of urban terror, the play traces the stories of four characters: a Hip-Hop Head from Heideveld who channels poetry from Sirius, an Urban Taxi Time Traveller whose body is the city she lives in, a child who is caught by the monster paedophilia and a storyteller who weaves their worlds together.

WHERE: Con Cowan Theatre, University of Johannesburg, Bunting Road campus, Bunting Road, Aukland Park

WHEN: Friday 11 and Saturday 12 April at 7:30pm

COST: R80

DETAILS: Book at Computicket
