Constellations: The Garden of Good and Evil at Spier Wine Farm in November promises extraordinary theatrical encounters under starry skies.
From 3 to 18 November 2023 Spier Wine Farm and Third World Bunfight presents Constellations: The Garden of Good and Evil, directed by Brett Bailey. Expect a unique cultural experience in the forested wilderness at Spier where atmospheric encounters await in the dark woods under a starlit sky.
This is the fourth iteration of Constellations, a series of intimate encounters that beautifully connect performers, spectators and total strangers in an intriguing way.
In Constellations: The Garden of Good and Evil, Bailey has given each of the performers a whimsical, somewhat twisted character to interpret: a singer who lives in a bush in the belief that she’s an insect; a woman who reads stories to the ashes of the husband she murdered; a sensitive poet who lost his marbles in the mall.
Artists this year include
- singer and musician Moodship (akA Gary Thomas);
- indigenous instrumentalist Sky Dlala;
- singer, songwriter and composer Laurie Levine;
- improviser and writer Megan Choritz;
- physical theatre performer Siphenathi Mayekiso;
- Belgian storyteller Gaetan Schmid;
- dance artist Gita Galina, and
- interdisciplinary performance artist Mthuthuzeli Zimba.
Small groups will follow their Guides along riverside trails at nightfall to visit six sites lit by campfires and lanterns; extraordinary 15 minute solo performances by a diverse group of artists who will deliver surreal, unforgettable experiences brought to life through beautiful music, song and haunting tales.
