My Fellow South Africans, a satirical take on contemporary South Africa and winner of the Toyota US Woordfees 2023 “Best Achievement: Solo” category, will continue to tour the country in the build-up and aftermath to the elections.
The talented Kim Blanche Adonis performs this solo piece that combines comedy, singing, poetry and drama through sixty-five minutes of high energy and focus, and has earned much critical and audience praise for her talent, technical skills and commitment. Where the facilities are available, the show includes cartoons by Zapiro to complement and further texture the satirical commentary.
My Fellow South Africans has resonated with audiences across the board, touching on nerves with which many in our country can identify. Academics and NGO leaders, teachers and corporate CEOs, students and retirees – all have praised the work as tapping into our current anxieties and frustrations while allowing us a moment of catharsis and hope.

This is a fundraiser for the Simon’s Town Museum. The ticket includes entry to the lecture by Mike van Graan on the 19th June.

Trammakassea: World Oceans Day 7th & 8th of June
2024-06-08 10:00 - 15:30 | Simon’s Town Museum, Court Road, Cape Town, 7975, South Africa
Trammakassea* 2024 World Ocean Day is a focused lecture series that will take place from Friday the 7th June – Saturday 8th June. The aim of the series is to catalyse action for our oceans and climate change, by bringing together a diverse group of storytellers, scientists and activists to discuss, debate and engage key themes.
Key themes that the discussions will cover:

Ocean Ecologies: From the Apex to the Microscopic

Ocean Ecologies explores the ecological connections between species from a scientific point of view. For this session we will have scientists discussing their work on charismatic and microscopic species, who together form part of a fragile intricate ecosystem.

Ocean Defenders: Conservation, Privilege, and Human Rights

Ocean defenders explores the complexities and tensions around conservation discourse, practice and human rights. This theme seeks to interrogate the ways that privilege operates under the guise of environmentalism and conservation to exclude/negate indigenous knowledge and community experience.

Ocean Stories: Meaning, Memories and Struggles

Ocean stories explores the socio-historic relationship of communities and their connection as well as disconnection to the ocean. This theme looks at remembering and methods of recall that have survived and provide methods of survival and ways to make sense of the past and the present.
Dates: 7th June – 8th June
Venues: The Commons, Muizenberg and Simon’s Town Museum.
Booking is essential because seating is limited. For more details on the programme see attached.
