Cape Ballet Africa will present a new programme of short works, Intermezzo, at The Drama Factory from Friday 16 to Sunday 25 May. The production is a gentle and cathartic artistic offering from the recently established company, fresh from its 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, the celebrated South African actor, narrating the evocative and stirring text. Intermezzo will be staged at 19:30 on 16, 17, 23 and 24 May, with matinées at 15:00 and 16:00 on 17, 18, 24 and 25 May. Tickets, at R280 or R260 each, for groups of four people, can be booked online at www.dramafactory.co.za. Photo: Chris Aupais
