Charl du Plessis
Performances
This vibrant intimate theatre production tells the oral
history of the development of Hermanus. Energetic song,
dance and compelling storytelling takes the audience
on a historical journey of discovery, highlighting pioneers
like Hermanus Pieters, Sir William Hoy and the mystical
character of Bientang.
Listen to tales of local fishermen, the everyday lives of
women and landmark buildings such as The Marine
Hotel and the Sanatorium – today the Windsor Hotel.
Some liberties have been taken and a pinch of proudly
South African spice added. This is a thoroughly localis-lekker
production.
With: Filicity Tobias, Esihle Badlati, Yonela Sentse,
Remarce Marais and Faigon Kees.
Writer-Director: Celeste Slabber-Loriston
This solo recital programme includes classical music
by the father of music, JS Bach, some lyrical song
transcription of Rachmaninov, the well-known Beethoven
Moonlight Sonata and some new jazz arrangements of

Percy Grainger and Morton Gould in this high-energy
performance.
