This year sees the 7th Suidooster
Festival, filled to the brim with audience favourites: faithful and
well-loved Suidoosterfees artists to tickle the fancy of every festival
goer.
So look out for Vinette Ebrahim and
Theodore Jantjies in Vaselinetjie, David Kramer as director of Krismis van
Map Jacobs and in his own Kaapse Breyani – the fullhouse hit of 2009 –
Neels van Jaarsveld in Bure oppie Bank, Terence Bridgett in All Soaped Up,
Sandra Prinsloo in Die Naaimasjien – another fullhouse hit of 2009 – Emile
Minnie in Kaapse Karnaval to set the mood for the upcoming Cape Town
Carnival in March, Gary Naidoo in a brand-new episode of Poespas entitled
Sonspel, Francois Bloemhof in the Book Corner, the Wordwise Children’s
festival, Denise Newman in the film Sexy Girls and of course our own opera
diva, Virginia Davids, in Delicious Divas directed by Niël Rademan.
But don’t be so dazzled by the old
favourites that you miss out on the Suidooster festival’s new stars: three
times Sama winner Lira, the Black Tie Ensemble, more 7de Laan household
names, Christo Davids and Zane Meas, the Cape funky Irit Noble, the ever
energetic Alistair Izobell, the acclaimed Amanda Strydom and our festival
artist who was honoured by the president, Peter Clarke.
The movie offering focuses on Distrik 6:
the 13 hour-long documentary episodes are a unique combination of archive
footage, interviews and music directed by the late great Taliep Pietersen.
Due to the hands-down success of 2009’s
cooking shows, we dish up Huiskok Glanskok Live! based on the book by the
same name with famous chefs Francois Ferreira and Errieda du Toit. Also on
the menu is an exhibition of food art photography by the book’s
photographer and Chris Koch will offer you a delectable taste of whisky
and chocolate with his festival circuit hit.
