With seven top-tier performers and a series of events, the festival promises to bring the local community together in honour of the area's rich history, diverse heritage, and dynamic spirit.
Running from Friday, 20 June to Friday, 27 June, Curro Durbanville High School will come alive with music, storytelling, comedy, and culinary delights that celebrate the unique character of Cape Town's Northern suburbs.
The line-up has been carefully selected to offer something for every taste
South Africa's doyenne of theatre, Sandra Prinsloo, will open the festival on 20 June with her acclaimed one-woman show, 'Kamphoer – die verhaal van Susan Nell'.
This poignant performance explores the harrowing true story of Susan Nell, a survivor of the Anglo-Boer War. The play masterfully portrays trauma, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
The entertainment continues on Saturday, 21 June with a triple bill of laughter.
Kicking off the day is the much-loved Marion Holm in her new one-woman show 'Marion Monroe', blending sharp humour with heartfelt storytelling and a fresh cast of characters. This comedic gem unpacks themes of identity and self-perception.
Next up is Marc Lottering in 'Marc Eugene Lottering', as the comedian gives audiences a personal look into his life and heritage. He shares never-before-heard stories, including his childhood belief that his family were "blonde German-Caribbeans" - a hilariously misguided notion inspired by his mother.
