Festivalgoers can look forward to a ‘reimagined’ FynArts

Writer: Hedda Mittner.

Since announcing the cancellation of FynArts 2020 in its usual form on 27 March, Festival Director Mary Faure and the FynArts committee have continued to work tirelessly behind the scenes with performers, artists and other partners to develop creative ways of conceptualising this popular festival within the constraints imposed by the COVID-19 lockdown.

“We’ll be launching the programme for Hermanus FynArts Select 2020 as soon as possible – a programme of selected virtual events, both recorded and livestreamed, which will be offered during the festival dates of 5 – 16 June. As soon as possible after that, we’re also looking at presenting a few stimulating and uplifting FynArts Select weekends at a later stage. Many of the events that are not possible to bring to the festival this year, for logistical and other reasons, will be included in the 2021 programme.”
