Seatavern

Met Esmé Marthinus, Miché van Wyk (akteurs), Jaime-Lee Hine, Georgia Julies, Manon-Lee Saal, Keeanu Samuels, Jered Adonis (dansers)

Gat is ’n rou en kragtige dans- en teaterproduksie deur Byron Klassen en die Garage Dance Ensemble. Op ’n bakkie vol gebede reis die groep deur emosies van swaarkry tot vreugde en gee gestalte aan hul gemeenskap se stories. Met beweging, teks, klank en elemente van die aarde bied hulle ’n ritueel van skepping en vernietiging, geboorte en dood – ’n eerlike huldeblyk aan die geheue en veerkrag van ’n stukkende maar lewenskragtige gemeenskap.

GAT is a powerful dance-theatre work by Byron Klassen and Garage Dance Ensemble. Traveling on a battered bakkie, the cast embarks on an emotional journey through movement and text, uncovering the soul of a struggling community. With striking innovation, the ensemble weaves a ritual of sound, motion, earth, and water—tracing cycles of creation, destruction, birth, and death. This evocative performance honours stories held by the land, offering a deeply resonant reflection on memory, resilience, and collective identity.
