INTERMEZZO will be presented from 16 to 25 May. The production is a gentle and cathartic artistic offering from this recently established company fresh from their exceptional debut at the Artscape Opera House in March.

Celebrating Tchaikovsky features the composer’s most loved works for ballet including The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. A selection of iconic tunes form the basis for this suite profiling the beautiful artists of Cape Ballet Africa.

Desiderata, the much - loved prose poem by writer Max Ehrmann forms the inspiration for the collection of choreographic works by South African choreographers with Marcel Meyer, celebrated South African actor, narrating the evocative and stirring text.

INTERMEZZO will be presented at The Drama Factory on:

16, 17, 23 and 24 May at 19h30

17 and 24 May at 15h00

18 and 25 May at 16h00
