Important Update: James Bay South African Tour Postponed to 2026
’n Ko-produksie van Suidoosterfees, Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees & KKNK; ondersteun deur NATi & Het Jan Marais Nationale Fonds
Die Suidoosterfees bied die verhoogverwerking van Ronelda Kamfer se roman Kompoun met trots aan. Dié aangrypende verhaal word deur twee kleinkinders van die Mckinney-familie, Nadia en Xavie, vertel. Temas soos onskuld, deursettingsvermoë en familievetes word verken binne die ongenaakbare Suid-Afrikaanse konteks. Die stuk word in ’n ‘sirkel’ aangebied met ’n ‘plaashek’ wat die gehoor toegang gee tot die innerlike én eksterne faktore wat die karakters se lewens beïnvloed, asook hul keuse om uit hul chaotiese bestaan te ontsnap.
