Annalize Doubell, voorsitter van die Vrystaat Kunstefees se bestuurskomitee / Chairperson of the Vrystaat Arts Festival management committee / modula-setulo wa komiti ya bohlophisi ya meketjana wa Vrystaat Tsa Botjhaba

Kultuur, klank, kleur, kos, kuns. Alles saam spel ’n fees. Dit is presies wat die Vrystaat Kunstefees vanjaar weer gaan wees – ’n fees vir die oog, oor, liggaam en siel.

Culture, cuisine, colour, sound and art. All this makes a festival. This is exactly what this year’s Vrystaat Arts Festival will be – a festival for the eye, ear, body and soul.

Met die tema Ons Afrika bied vanjaar se fees ’n mengsel wat ’n ieder en ’n elk se sinne sal streel, én soms so ’n bietjie uit hul bekende gemaksone skud.

With the theme Our Africa, this year’s festival will delight all senses and shake them out of their comfort zones.

Die veelheid van talente, produksies en stalletjies gaan steeds soos die afgelope 16 jaar daar wees, maar ook veel meer as dit. ’n Volwaardige literatuurfees met pitkos vir almal word vanjaar as deel van die Vrystaat Kunstefees aangebied waar feesgangers op boekbesprekings van hul gunstelingAfrikaanse skrywers kan ontmoet en aan soms robuuste debatte oor aktuele onderwerpe kan deelneem. Die grense word egter vanjaar ook verder as net Afrikaans, en selfs Suid-Afrika, getrek. Hier gaan ook anderstalige skrywers uit die res van (Ons) Afrika wees om tot die allegaartjie van die Literatuurfeesgenot by te dra.

Groot name soos Adam Small, Theuns Eloff, Albert Blake, Marita van der Vyver, Zakes Mda en Kader Abdolah, om enkeles te noem, gaan hier wees. ’n Nuutjie wat ook samelopend met die Vrystaat Kunstefees aangebied word, is die Vrynge (rand- of rimpelfees). Dit staan nie om dowe neute as ’n “rimpelfees” bekend nie, want hier gaan tradisionele feesgangers moderne, vernuwende werke met grensverskuiwende denke daaragter kan beleef. Die Joolkol, waar dié fees in die klein gehou gaan word, gee jong, onbekende kunstenaars die geleentheid om in uitgelese geselskap te wys waartoe hulle in staat is.

Die Program vir Innovering-inKunsvormontwikkeling (Piko) gaan ook weer, soos verlede jaar met die Wit Perd-projek, met ’n opwindende, grootse projek nie net feesgangers nie, maar al die inwoners van die groter Bloemfontein verras. Maak seker jy mis dit nie!

Om ’n feesprogram soos vanjaar s’n saam te stel, verg laterale denke en letterlik ’n jaar se klipharde werk. En sonder vennootskappe oor ’n wye spektrum heen, sal dit nooit moontlik wees nie.

Daarom: Dankie aan Volksblad en die Universiteit van die Vrystaat wat hul geriewe en personeel jaarliks goedgunstiglik vir dié grootse projek beskikbaar stel en hul geld en tyd daarin belê. Daarsonder sou die Vrystaat, en verál die kunste, brandarm gewees het. Ook verdien die uiters bekwame en begeesterde feeskomitee en sy medewerkers applous vir ’n feesprogram der feesprogramme.

The many talents, productions and stalls are still there just like the past 16 years, but there will also be much more than this.

A packed literature festival offering food for thought is now part of the Vrystaat Arts Festival, where festival-goers can meet their favourite Afrikaans authors and take part in some robust debates on topical subjects.

This year the boundaries are moved much further than Afrikaans, or even South Africa.

Writers in other languages from (Our) Africa will also attend and contribute to the mixed grill that is the literary festival feast.

Great names like Adam Small, Theuns Eloff, Albert Blake, Marita van der Vyver, Zakes Mda, Chika Unigwe and Kader Abdolah, to mention but a few, will be present.

Something new running at the same time as the Vrystaat Arts Festival is the vrynge (fringe). It is not called “rimpelfees” for nothing, as here traditional festival-goers will experience modern, innovative works with ideas reaching beyond known borders. The Joolkol and Gazellies , where this festival is held, will give young, unknown artists the chance to show what they can do.

The Programme for Innovation in Artform Development (PIAD), like last year’s White Horse, will have an exciting, big project that will surprise festival-goers and the greater Bloemfontein as a whole. Be sure not to miss this.

To organize a festival programme like this year’s require lateral thinking and literally a whole year’s worth of hard work. Without partnerships over a wide spectrum this festival would not be possible.

Therefore I would like to thank the Volksblad and the University of the Free State who graciously makes their facilities and staff available every for this huge effort.

Without it the Free State, and especially the arts, would be very poor.

Also applause for the proficient and enthusiastic festival committee and the staff for a top festival programme.

Kuns transformeer. Dit help om onsself, die mense wat ons raakloop en die omgewings waarin ons leef te verstaan. Dit kan gebeur deur diep na te dink, maar ook deur plesier en vreugde.

Art transforms. It helps us understand ourselves, the people we connect with and the environments in which we live. This can happen through deep reflection but also pleasure and joy.

Bonono bo a fetoha. Bo re thusa hore retle re ihlalohanye, batho bao re kopanang le bona le dibaka tseo re phelang ho tsona. Sena se ka etsahala ka ho itekodisa empa le ka Thabo le nyakallo.

Die tema vir vanjaar se Vrystaat Kunstefees is ontleen aan die eerste Vrystaat Literatuurfees – Ons Afrika. Danksy die ondersteuning van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) het ons nou ’n belangrike Suid-Afrikaanse en internasionale literatuuraanbod op ons drumpel.

The theme for this year’s Vrystaat Arts Festival takes its lead from the inaugural Vrystaat Literature Festival - Our Africa.

Thanks to support from the University of the Free State (UFS), we now have significant South African and international literary offerings right on our doorstep.

Die Andrew W. Mellon-stigting van New York het deur die UV meer as R7 miljoen oor die volgende vier jaar aan die Program vir Innovasie in Kunsontwikkeling (PIKO) geskenk om nuwe, eksperimentele werk te ontwikkel en aan te bied. Ons vlagskipgebeurtenis vir 2016 is die Britse kunstenaar Alex Rinsler se Dis my stad, ’n openbare kunsprojek op groot skaal op die kampus van die UV en verskeie plekke in die stad.

Hou maar dop vir dié pragtige kunswerke en volg hul reis oor die weke van die fees.

The New York based Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, through the UFS, granted the Programme for Innovation in Artform Development (PIAD) R7 million over the next four years to develop and present new, experimental work in our region. Our flagship event for 2016 is British artist Alex Rinsler’s It’s My City, a large-scale public art project on the campus of the University of the Free State and various locations in the city. Keep your eyes out for these beautiful works of art and follow their journey over the weeks of the festival.

Sehloolo sa Vrystaat Tsa Botjhaba ya selemong sena se itlhomme pele moketeng wa tsa dikopano tsa dithuto (inaugural Vrystaat Literature Festival) – Aforika Ya Rona (Our Africa). Diteboho tsa tshehetso di ya Unibesithing ya Foreisitata (UFS), jwale rena le dimpho tse supang dithuto tsa Aforika Borwa le dinaha tse kantle, haufi le rona.

Die kampus en stad sal ook ’n verskeidenheid ander werke bied wat ontwikkel is deur ons Publieke Artistiese Projek (PAP) en VRY-wees-inisiatief. Van plekspesifieke werk tot projekte wat die gemeenskap betrek – dié aanbiedings gaan almal verras en plesier verskaf. ’n Nuwe Vrynge-fees wat ontluikende en opkomende kunstenaars landwyd ondersteun, is ook deel van 2016 se Vrystaat Kunstefees. Besoek die Joolkol en Gazellies op die kampus vir ’n blik op die toekoms van kunste in dié land.

Bykomend tot briljante teater, vanjaar mildelik aangevul deur die Nasionale Afrikaanse Teaterinisiatief (NATi), het ons ook die omvattendste musiekaanbiedings van enige fees in Suid-Afrika. Van klassieke musiek en populêre vermaak tot ons eerste buitelugkonsert, sien ons daarna uit om die beste van Suid-Afrika se vermaakkunstenaars in die Vrystaat te verwelkom.

Niks hiervan sou moontlik gewees het nie sonder ’n ongelooflik toegewyde personeel, raad en betrokke feesgangers. ’n Groot dankie diep uit my hart aan almal wat van die Vrystaat Kunstefees so ’n sukses maak. Dit is ’n gemeenskapsfees – dit behoort aan ons almal. Geniet die verskeidenheid op die spyskaart.

The campus and city will also feature a range of other works developed through our Public Art Project (PAP) and VRYwees initiatives. From site specific work to community engaged projects – these offerings will surprise and delight all those who experience them.

A new Vrynge festival supporting emerging and upcoming artists nationally also form part of the 2016 Vrystaat Arts Festival. Visit the Joolkol and Gazellies on campus for a window seat into the future of the arts in this country.

In addition to brilliant theatre, this year generously augmented by the National Afrikaans Theatre Initiative (Nati), we also have one of the most encompassing musical offerings of any festival in South Africa. From classical music, popular entertainment, to our first outdoor concert, we look forward to welcoming the best of South Africa’s live entertainers to the Free State.

None of this would be possible without an incredibly dedicated staff, board and equally committed festival goers. From the bottom of my heart a very big thank you to all of you who make the Vrystaat Arts Festival such a success. This is a community festival – it belongs to us all.

Enjoy the diversity of offerings on the table.

Al word die taal van die /Xam as San-taal nie meer algemeen in Suid-Afrika gebruik nie, is die lesse te leer uit sy opgetekende weergawes steeds baie relevant. In die 1870’s het //Kabbo, ’n /Xam-reënmaker wat in Kaapstad deur die Britse koloniale regering gevange gehou is, sy lewensverhaal aan taalkundige Wilhelm Bleek en onderwyser Lucy Lloyd sy lewensverhaal vertel.

Toe al het //Kabbo geweet van die broosheid van geheue as ’n middel vir analitiese sinmaking. Dus het sy stories en verse nie net gedien om sy lewe se inhoud vas te vang nie. Die struktuur en inhoud van //Kabbo se vertellings maak dit dan moontlik vir ’n 21ste eeuse maatskaplike teoretikus (Morris, 2011) en ‘n literêre kritikus (Wylie, 2007) om die andersheid nie as opposisie en die moderniteit nie as geskei van tradisie nie te begryp nie. Polities het //Kabbo die hiërargie van mag verstaan wat sy soeke na kos op die lande van sy voorsate ’n kriminele oortreding gemaak het, ondanks die ironie dat hy deur ’n swart wapendraer van die koloniale mag gearresteer is.

Dus, ver van blote woordspel en ’n vertoon van semantiese vaardigheid, het die /Xamstories en verse deur //Kabbo, Diӓ!Kwain, / Han≠kass’o en ander ons nie net die welbekende San-omgewingsnabyheid nagelaat nie, maar ook ’n ontologie en kosmologie waardeur ons ons bestaan op en vir die planeet kan probeer verstaan. Op dieselfde manier word San-rotskuns reeds wyd erken as nie net estetika nie, maar kragtige uitbeeldings van metafisiese magte en die onafskeidbaarheid van mens en dier.

Deur die uitdrukkings van sang, dans, vers, storie, rotsskildery en etse wat ons “kuns” sou noem, het die San ons die moontlikhede van nabyheid geleer en die fout om radikale opposisie te koester teen dié wat ons meen anders as ons is. Hoe gepas dan die /Xamfrase: !ke e /xarra //ke, eenheid in diversiteit – as ons maar ons sintuie (gevoelens?) vir hierdie moontlikhede kan oopmaak.

Soos hierdie uitgawe van die Vrystaat Kunstefees ontvou, verdiep ons Eerste Nasies-projek van erkenning en waardering ons begrip van eenheid in diversiteit. Sylvia Vollenhoven se boek Keeper of the Kumm, wat deel is van die nuwe Literatuurfees, bied in die 21ste eeu ’n fassinerende voortgesette gesprek met //Kabbo. Lesse geleer uit die Australiese konteks rakende die insluiting en toonaangewende neiging van hul Eerste Nasies se kunsuitdrukkings sal help met die verdere beplanning van ons Eerste Nasies se betrokkenheid by die Vrystaat Kunstefees. Geniet die Vrystaat Kunstefees 2016.

Even as the language of the /Xam is not spoken as a common San language in South Africa anymore, the lessons to be drawn from its recorded versions are still very relevant.

In the 1870’s, //Kabbo, a /Xam rainmaker imprisoned in Cape Town by the British colonial government, narrated his life to linguist Wilhelm Bleek and teacher Lucy Lloyd.

Already then, //Kabbo knew of the fragility of memory as a device for analytical sensemaking. Therefore, his stories and poems did not just serve to capture his life’s content. The structure and content of //Kabbo’s narrations thus made it possible, e.g. for a 21st century social theorist (Morris, 2011) and a literary critic (Wylie, 2007), to understand otherness not as opposition, and modernity not as divorced from tradition. Politically, //Kabbo understood the hierarchy of power that turned his quest for food, on the lands of his forebears, into a criminal offence, the irony of him being arrested by a black armsman of the colonial power, notwithstanding.

So, far from being mere wordplay and demonstration of semantic prowess, the /Xam stories and poems by //Kabbo, Diӓ!Kwain, / Han≠kass’o and others left us the well-known San environmental nearness but also an ontology and cosmology through which we can attempt to understand our being on and for this planet. In the same vein San rock art is already widely acknowledged as not just aesthetics but powerful expressions of metaphysical powers and the inseparability of human and animal. Through the expressions song, dance, poem, story, rock painting and etching, that we would term ‘art’, the San teach us the possibilities for nearness and the flaw of fostering radical opposition to those we deem to be different from us. How proper then the /Xam phrase: !ke e /xarra //ke, unity in diversity, if only we can open our senses to its possibilities.

As this edition of the Vrystaat Arts Festival unfolds, our First Nations project of recognition and appreciation deepens our understanding of unity in diversity. Sylvia Vollenhoven’s book, Keeper of the Kumm, which forms part of the newly established literature festival, delivers a fascinating continued conversation with //Kabbo in the 21st century. Lessons learned from the Australian context in respect of the inclusion and mainstreaming of their First Nations’ arts expressions will assist in the further planning regarding our First Nations’ involvement in the Vrystaat Arts Festival.

Enjoy the Vrystaat Arts Festival 2016.

Prof. Jonathan Jansen, vise-kanselier en rektor: Universiteit van die Vrystaat / Vice Chancelor and Rector: University of the Free State / motlasa mokhanselara le reketoro: Univesithing ya Foreisitata Welkom hier by die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) se Bloemfontein-kampus!

Welcome on the Bloemfontein campus of the University of the Free State (UFS)!

By Kovsies vind u wenners soos Wayde van Niekerk, 2015 se nasionale Sportster en Sportman van die Jaar en onder andere die eerste atleet in wêreldgeskiedenis om die 100 m onder 10 sekondes, die 200 m onder 20 sekondes en die 400 m onder 44 sekondes te hardloop; Louzanne Coetzee, wêreldrekordhouer en eerste blinde vrou wat onder 20 minute in die 5 000 m gehaal het; Elizabeth Molapo, wat as eerste prinses in die 2016 Mej Suid-Afrika-kompetisie gekroon is; en Rolene Strauss, Mej Wêreld 2014, wat tans haar mediese studies voltooi. Dis uitblinkers soos hierdie wat die statuur van die UV steeds verder uitbrei.

At Kovsies you will find winners like Wayde van Niekerk, 2015 national Sport Star and Sportsman of the Year and among others the first athlete in world history to run the 100 m under 10 seconds, the 200 m under 20 seconds and the 400 m under 44 seconds; Louzanne Coetzee, world record holder and the first blind woman who ran the 5 000 m under 20 minutes; Elizabeth Molapo, crowned frist princess in the 2016 Miss South Africa competition; and Rolene Strauss, Miss World 2014, who is presently completing her medical studies. Champions like these expand the stature of the UFS further.

Verlede jaar se Vrystaat Kunstefees het vernuwende idees na die kampus gebring. Ek wil dr. Ricardo Peach en sy span gelukwens met die puik program en vernuwende inisiatiewe wat vanjaar weer saamgestel is om verskeie taal- en kultuurgroepe op ‘n plaaslike, nasionale en internasionale vlak te betrek. Verskeie UV-personeellede is steeds deel van hierdie vernuwingsproses – baie dankie vir almal se volgehoue harde werk en verbintenis tot die fees se sukses.

Vanjaar gaan die fees weer nuwe hoogtes bereik met die aanbieding van die eerste literatuurfees in sentraal-Suid-Afrika. Ek is baie opgewonde oor hierdie literêre platform – een wat die universiteit op die lang termyn ondersteun. As skrywer en opvoeder is die fees vir my veral spesiaal omdat dit ’n leeskultuur gaan help versterk – nie net in die Vrystaat nie, maar in die hele land.

Die afgelope jaar was uitdagend vir die tersiêre sektor en ook vir die UV. Maar ons is steeds vasbeslote om van Kovsies een van die beste universiteite op die vasteland en ook in die res van die wêreld te maak en ons sal nie van stryk gebring word in die verwesenliking van hierdie visie nie.

Ons is vasberade om die statuur van die universiteit nog verder uit te bou. Ons is ook vasberade om die UV se groeiende reputasie as een van die voorste universiteite in die

Last year’s Vrystaat Arts Festival brought new ideas to the campus. I want to congratulate dr. Ricardo Peach and his team with the excellent program and innovative inisiatives that have been put together this year to involve various language and culture groups on a local, national and international level.

Various staff members of the UFS are still part of this renewing process – many thanks to all for sustained hard work and commitment to the festival’s success.

The festival will again reach new heights with the presentation of the first literature festival in central South Africa. I am very excited about this literary platform – one the university is supporting in the long term. As writer and educator the festival is particularly special to me because it will help encourage a reading culture – not only in the Free State, but the whole country.

The past year was a challenge to the tertiary sector and also for the UFS. But, we are still determined to make Kovsies one of the best universitites on the continent and also in the rest of the world and will not be deterred from realising this vision.

Raak ’n slag waaghalsig met die berugte Australiese taktiese mediakunsgroep pvi collective wanneer hulle Bloemfontein met hul nuwe kunslaboratorium“transformator” tref. ’n Uitdagende verhoogbroeikas wat ontluikende kunstenaars uitnooi om ernstig saam te speel en maniere te bedink waarop hulle hul onmiddellike omgewing kreatief kan hervorm.

Twee weke lank word met 35 studente en ontluikende praktisyns by die Universiteit van die Vrystaat gewerk, dan kyk pvi ook na ’n eenmalige moontlikheid van optrede en ingryping as deel van die Vrystaat Kunstefees. Ondersteun deur die Andrew W. Mellonstigting.

Take a walk on the wild side with notorious Australian tactical media art group pvi collective as they hit Bloemfontein with their new art lab “transformer”. A provocative incubation platform that invites emerging artists to undertake some serious play and consider ways in which they can creatively transform their immediate surroundings. Workshopping with 35 students and emerging practitioners at the University of the Free State for two weeks, PVI will then look to curate a one-off event of performative outcomes and interventions as part of Vrystaat Arts Festival.

Drie reusagtige beelde verskyn in verskillende dele van Bloemfontein.

Three giant sculptures emerge in different parts of Bloemfontein.

Bloemfontein is ’n stad van baie verskillende gemeenskappe wat langs mekaar woon. Dis My Stad verteenwoordig drie sienswyses deur drie plaaslike kunstenaars en hul gemeenskappe oor hul ondervindings van die stad en hul wense vir die toekoms. Drie beelde sal ’n week lank op verskillende plekke in Bloemfontein staan en almal is welkom om dit volgens hul wense te voltooi.

Bloemfontein is a city of many different communities who live side by side.

It’s My City presents three points of view from three local artists and their communities about their experience of the city and their wishes for the future. Three sculptures will stand for a week in different locations around Bloemfontein inviting everyone to contribute private wishes to complete them.

Op Saterdag 16 Julie sal die beelde skouspelagtig lewend word. Hulle sal na mekaar toe beweeg om mekaar die eerste keer te sien. En ná ’n kort seremonie sal die werke afgebreek word en die gemeenskappe agterlaat wat hulle gemaak het.

On Saturday 16th July the sculptures will come to life in a spectacular way.They will travel to meet each other, see and recognise each other for the first time.

And after a short ceremony the works will be dismantled, leaving behind the communities that made them.

Die projek is bedink en gelei deur Alex Rinsler, ’n openbare kunstenaar en feesvervaardiger wat in Brittanje gevestig is en internasionaal werk. Sy werk verken hoe beelde uit oomblikke van verwondering geskep word en nuwe stories skryf. Hy is bekend vir die skep van reuse-diere en groen mans, en om dan die meeste van sy skeppings te verbrand. Dis My Stad is sy eerste projek in Suid-Afrika.

The project has been conceived and led by Alex Rinsler, a public artist and festival producer based in the UK and working internationally. His work explores how moments of wonder create imagery that inspire pride and write new stories. He’s known for giant animals and green men, and for burning most things that he makes. It’s My City is his first work in South Africa.

Dis my stad is vanjaar se hoofprojek van die Program vir Innovasie in Kunsvormontwikkeling (PIKO), ’n samewerking tussen die Universiteit van die Vrystaat en die Vrystaat Kunstefees, ondersteun deur die Andrew W. Mellon-stigting.

It’s My City is 2016 signature project of the Programme for Innovation in Artform Development (PIAD), a collaboration between the University of the Free State and the Vrystaat Arts Festival, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Die Publieke Artistieke Projek gaan Hertzogplein in die middestad ophelder met optredes, installasies, tydelike beeldhouwerke, visuele kuns, gebeurtenisse en blitsskares. Kosstalletjies, plaaslike verkopers en ’n skaatsplankbaan is net enkele attraksies. Gratis pap en sheba sal bedien word en inter-aktiewe kuns gaan ’n lewendige atmosfeer skep vir voetgangers om hul verskuilde kunstenaar te ontdek. Besoekers word aangemoedig om ou klere te bring vir ’n klerewisseling-inisiatief om behoeftiges te help teen die winter. Medewerkers van die VS Kunstefees, Vrynge, VRY-wees en Transformer-toetslopies gaan met impromptu-optredes hul gehore verder as die kampusterrein laat strek. Dis ook ’n ideale begin- en eindpunt om die muurskilderyroete en middestad te herontdek. Aangesien monumente van ’n vergange tyd ’n vuurwarm onderwerp in die nasionale bewussyn is, spreek hierdie inisiatief die kwessie aan deur ’n koloniale ruimte op te dateer en die funksie daarvan uit te brei.

Public Art Project will animate Hertzog Square in the inner-city with site specific performances, installations, temporary sculptures, visual art, happenings and flashmobs. Food stalls, local vendors and a skateboard track are just some of the attractions. Free pap and sheba will be served and inter-active art pieces will create a vibrant hub for pedestrians to explore their inner-artist. Visitors are encouraged to bring old clothes for a clothing exchange initiative to gear the needy for the winter. Collaborators from Vrystaat Arts Festival, Vrynge, VRYwees and the Transformer trials will extend their audiences beyond campus with impromptu performances here. It is also an ideal starting point and final destination to explore the mural route and inner city. Since monuments to a bygone era have been a heated topic in our national consciousness, this initiative addresses the issue by updating a colonial space and expanding its functionality.

Kom deel in die rykdom woordkunstenaars van SuidAfrika wanneer hulle die openbare arena betree en gedigte uitstuur wat teen geboue weerklink en in die bedrywige strate eggo. Die woorde word boodskappers van hoop en wanhoop, stories van gedeelde smart en geluk, wat in die monde van digters op vlug gaan en in die ore van stadsbewoners te lande kom. In samewerking met die Vrystaat Literatuurfees.

Come and share in the wealth of wordsmiths that South Africa has on offer as they intervene in the public sphere and share poems that reverberate off buildings and echo down busy streets. The words become messengers of hope and despair, stories of shared sorrow and joy, that fly from the mouths of poets and land in the ears of city-dwellers. In collaboration with the Vrystaat Literary Festival.

11-13 Jul, 10:00-16:00 Sandile Radebe ondersoek die proses waardeur stede hul identiteit skep. Die publiek word op speelse vlak genooi om hul behoeftes vir ’n stad uit te druk.

Toeskouers kan aktief deelneem en ’n denkbeeldige metropool bou deur gekleurde houtblokke te pak.

As beginpunt rangskik die kunstenaar die blokke op die kontoerlyne van Bloemfontein. Deelnemers word nie voorgesê nie en kan die blokke in enige volgorde, eenheid of kleurkombinasie herrangskik om hul eie stad te bou.

Sandile Radebe will engage with the process of cities forming their identities by playfully involving the public in what they want a city to look like. Members of the public are invited to take an active role and build an imagined city by stacking coloured wooden blocks in a public space. The blocks are stacked in reference to the existing layout of Bloemfontein, which the artist will draw onto contour lines as a starting point.

The participants can use the coloured blocks in any sequence, uniform or colour combination to create their own city.

Vanaf/From 11 Jul Dié Openbare Kuns-projek wil ’n blywende effek op Bloemfontein laat deur die middestad met muurskilderye op te tower. ’n Verskeidenheid nasionale kunstenaars het bymekaar gekom om mure en oop ruimtes te versier wat in onbruik verval het. Elke jaar sal ’n nuwe blok in die stad gekies word waarom kykers kan loop of ry om die nuwe kunswerke te sien. Vanjaar begin die sirkelroete op die hoek van Hertzogplein: suid in Aliwalstraat, links in Elizabethstraat, links in WesBurgerstraat, links in Charlesstraat en terug tot by die beginpunt.

Public Art Project wants to leave a lasting effect on Bloemfontein by beautifying the city centre with urban murals. A variety of national artists have come together to illuminate disused walls and open spaces. Each year a new city block will be selected around which spectators can drive or walk to view the new artwork additions. This year, the circle route will start on the corner of Hertzog Square; south in Aliwal Street, left in Elizabeth Street, left in West Burger Street and left in Charles Street.

Blomme dien lank reeds as merkers van hedendaagse state – as aanduidings van grense én simbole van gedeelde identiteit onder inwoners. In die tipiese Afrikaanse plaasroman word grond gekarakteriseer as moederlik, wat bevrug moet word om te produseer. Die Suid-Afrikaanse skrywer J.M. Coetzee is van mening dat die Boer volgens dié mitologie “verbied word om die land te verkrag” en dit vrugbaar vir latere geslagte moet laat. Francois Knoetze se Ontbloem ondersoek die verstrengeldheid van hierdie lewensdriftige mitologie met die brutale strukture van patriargie en wit oorheersing. Knoetze sal verskeie optredes in die openbaar in Bloemfontein (fontein van blomme) doen met die blom as fokuspunt van Afrikaner-mitologie in ’n poging om hierdie simboliese objek nuwe betekenis toe te dig.

Flowers have long served as signifiers of modern states delineating borders and as symbols of a shared identity amongst citizens. In the typical Afrikaans farm novel, land is often characterised as maternal, which needs to be inseminated to bear fruit. South African author J.M. Coetzee notes that according to this mythology, the Boer is “forbidden to rape the land” and must keep it fertile for succeeding generations. Francois Knoetze’s “Ontbloem” explores the entanglement of this libidinal mythology with the brutal structures of patriarchy and white dominion.

Knoetze will conduct a number of public performances in Bloemfontein (fountain of flowers) which engages with the flower as a focal point of Afrikaner mythology in an attempt to inscribe new meaning to this symbolic object.

11 Jul 12:00, 12 Jul 13:00, 13 Jul 14:00, 14 Jul 15:00 (vrynge farm) Huishoudelike geweld is die mees algemene miskenning van menseregte in hierdie land. Dit word steeds gesien as ’n gesinskwessie en weinig aandag word gegee aan geweld in verhoudings van dieselfde geslag. Daar word geskat dat 40% van vroue in sulke verhoudings die slagoffer was van ’n daad van geweld gepleeg deur hul maat. Die getalle is onbetroubaar omdat slagoffers dit nie rapporteer nie. Siphumeze Khundayi wil die mites afbreek en die sluier oor huishoudelike geweld binne dieselfde geslagsverhoudings lig; die sigbaarheid van LGBTIQstories deur die kunste verhoog en dié stories tot die LGBTIQ-Afrikavroue se algemene bewussyn voeg.

Domestic violence is the most common human rights abuse in this country. It continues to be seen as a family issue, and little interest has been directed at violence in same-sex relationships. It is estimated that up to 40% of women in same-sex relationships have been the victim of an act of violence perpetrated by their partner.

These numbers are grossly under-representative as victims do not speak up. Siphumeze Khundayi seeks to break the myths and lift the veil on domestic violence within same-sex-relationships; increase visibility of LGBTIQ stories through the arts and add these stories of LGBTIQ African women to the general narrative.

Adelheid von Maltitz

Die Bloemfonteinse kunstenaar Adelheid von Maltitz ondersoek die verskille tussen terrein, ruimte en plek met drie verskillende installasies in die middestad. “Terrein” skep ’n nuwe siening van Hertzogplein as ’n post–1994terrein, vergestalt deur ’n konstruksie van deurskynende harpuisbakstene wat deel van ’n groter beeldhouwerk vorm.

“Ruimte” dui op die wisseling tussen veilig en onveilig.

Huishoudelike voorwerpe toegedraai in vilt, verwysend na private en openbare estetika, word in ’n informele markplek vertoon om ruimte te begryp in terme van privaat en openbaar. “Plek” ondersoek Hertzogplein as ’n plek van herdenking. Hoewel dié plek ’n deel van die geskiedenis bewaar wat deur herinnering gereaktiveer word, is dit eintlik ’n merker vir diskontinuïteit. Grond word gebruik om ’n verganklike installasie te skep bestaande uit negatiewe spasies tussen graf-beelde.

11-16 Jul 08:00 – 18:00

Bloemfontein artist Adelheid von Maltitz explores the differences between site, space and place with three separate installations. “Site” aims to give a new reading of Hertzog Square as a post 1994 site by use of a transparent resin brick construction forming part of a larger sculpture. “Space” is concerned with the concept of space as it fluctuates between safe and unsafe. Felt covered domestic objects, referring to private and public aesthetics, are displayed in an informal market area, to understand space in terms of private and public. “Place” explores Hertzog Square as a place of commemoration. Even though this place preserves a part of history that is re-activated by memory, it is essentially a marker for discontinuity. Earth is used to create a transient installation consisting of negative places between grave-like shapes.

Kuns gaan strate toe om dit vir almal toeganklik te maak.

Die SA Taxi-stigting het ’n toekenning ingestel met die doel om ontluikende kunstenaars te koester en die breër gemeenskap aan kuns bloot te stel. As ’n mobiele openbare kunsprojek sal die wenners se kuns op minibustaxi’s vertoon word wat dan as bewegende galery sal dien. Hierdie innoverende nuwe kompetisie wil die gaping tussen hoë kuns, eietydse kultuur en die groot bevolking wat daagliks openbare vervoer gebruik, oorbrug. Die finaliste se werk sal tydens die fees in en om Hertzogplein vertoon word.

Art will be taken to the streets to make it accessible to all.

The SA Taxi Foundation has launched an award aimed at nurturing emerging artists and exposing the broader community to visual arts. As a mobile public art project, the winners will be displayed as decals on minibus taxis, which will function as moving galleries. This innovative new competition aims to bridge the divide between high art, contemporary culture and the vast population of South Africans using public transport daily. During the festival the finalists’ entries will specifically be exhibited in and around Hertzog Square, but also keep a look-out for the winning designs displayed on taxis in Bloemfontein.

Dié installasie vereer die historiese filantroop Emily Hobhouse wat haar beywer het vir die beëindiging van ongeregtighede teenoor vroue en kinders in die AngloBoereoorlog en om hulle gevolglik te bemagtig. Bekend as stigter van verskeie weef- en spinskole dwarsoor die land, beoog die gebeurtenis om lede van die publiek te betrek om linte en lap deur die heining oorkant die Hertzogplein te weef om ’n kleurvolle indruk te skep wat ons reënboognasie verteenwoordig. ’n Gratis gesprek wat haar deelname in die tuisbedryf belig, vind 14 Julie op die UV-kampus plaas (17:00, 30 min, Eksamenlokaal 7) en word gevolg deur ’n aflewering van die toneelstuk An evening with miss Hobhouse (18:00, R100) in die OFM-Albert Wessels-ouditorium daarnaas.

11-16 Jul; 08:00 – 17:00 This installation honours the historical humanitarian Emily Hobhouse who worked to end injustices to women and children during the Anglo Boer War and consequently empower them. Known for starting several weaving and spinning schools throughout the country, this event aims to involve members of the public in weaving ribbons and cloth through the fence opposite Hertzog Square, culminating in a colourful display to represent our rainbow nation. A free talk about her role in the formation of the home industries will take place 14 July on the UFS Campus (17:00, 30 min, Eksamenlokaal 7), followed by a performance of the play An evening with Miss Hobhouse (18:00, R100) in the adjacent OFM Albert Wessels Auditorium.

Chris Chameleon, Daniella Deysel 15 Jul 20:30, 16 Jul 15:30 Dié opwindende nuwe produksie neem gehore op ’n reis deur Africana. Die giere, gewoontes, heilige koeie, artikels en tradisies van Afrikaners word tong in die kies gedissekteer om te kyk wat klop in die hart, raas in die kop en kielie in die maag van Die Volk. Die soms uitbundige, soms gevoelvolle styl waarvoor Chris Chameleon bekend is, tesame met Daniella Deysel en nuwe snitte wat spesiaal vir die produksie geskep is, beloof gehore ’n goeie dosis van lekker lag, lekker luister, ’n bietjie nadink en ’n hart se punt wat sekerlik nader aan dié besondere Afrika-stam sal trek.

This exciting new production takes audiences on a journey through Africana. A tongue in cheek dissection of the fancies, habits, holy cows and traditions of Afrikaners uncovers what beats in the heart, rumbles in the mind and flutters in the stomach of the Volk.

The sometimes jubilant, sometimes sensitive style for which Chris Chameleon has become known, together with Daniella Deysel as well as some new songs created for this production promise to draw ample doses of laughter, listening, food for afterthought and a heart that may love this unusual African tribe a little more.

Wie is ons as individue, in groepe, soos gesien deur ander, en wat word ons identiteite dan? Wat is die duike in ons gemeenskap en ook in onsself? Wat bind ons saam en wat bind my aan wie ek regtig is en wie ek wil wees?

Die stuk ondersoek die duike en bande van individuele én gemeenskaplike identifikasie en vernaamheid.

Persoonlike, gemeenskaplike en universele vertellings en identiteite word deur sang, dans, stories en musiek gevier.

What TIES us together and what TIES me to who I really am and who I want to be? I-dent-I-ties explores the DENTS and TIES of both individual and communal identification and distinctiveness. What does it mean to be me?

What does it mean to be South African? What does it mean to be human, especially in an increasingly inter connected, albeit turbulent world? I-dent-I-ties is a large-scale interdisciplinary performance project, a partnership between UFS, Vrystaat Kunstefees and PIAD. Supported by UFS Student Affairs and Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Lank gelede het ’n lang kind vir die maan gesing, in nat strate gedans en op windpompe vir die wolke gesing.

Nou is sy die Lang Vrou en haar muse is so sterk en onbepaald soos die wye, vrye aarde wat haar inspireer.

Sy sing van Déjà vu, Skipskop en Misverstand, van Hangers in ’n kas en vir haar Ma. Sy sing van Antjie Krog, van ver skepe wat seil oor Waters en van iemand wat nooit vir iemand so lief sal wees soos vir jou nie.

Van Shirley Bassey as muse tot haar eie pennevrug, die Lang Vrou is ’n reis van die hart.

Years ago a tall child sang to the moon, danced in drenched wet streets and sang from the top of windmills to the clouds. Now she is the Tall Woman and her muse is as strong and indefinite as the wide, free world that inspires her. She sings of Déjà vu, Skipskop and Misverstand, of Hangers in a wardrobe and for her mother. From her muse Shirley Bassey to her own writings, the Tall Woman is a journey of the heart.

Die stuk het in 2013 ’n Standard Bank-apploustoekenning op die Nasionale Kunstefees in Grahamstad gewen. Hobhouse het in Suid-Afrika beroemd geword en haar eie Britse mense se toorn op die hals gehaal omdat sy die haglike toestande uitgewys het waaronder Boeregevangenes in konsentrasiekampe aangehou is.

The award-winning production of Tony Jackman’s play with Crofford in her Fleur du Cap Award-nominated role as Emily Hobhouse, the British campaigner against atrocities in Boer War concentration camps, and Tant’ Alie, a camp inmate. The production won a Standard Bank Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in 2013. Hobhouse achieved fame in South Africa and stirred the ire of her own British people by bringing to their attention the dire conditions under which the British were keeping Boer prisoners of war – mainly women and children – in concentration camps.

14 Jul 21:00, 15 Jul 20:30, 16 Jul 10:30 Paul Harmse se worsteling om sin te maak van die lewe word ’n kringloop van bevryding en selfkastyding; die alomteenwoordige skuldgevoelens waarvan hy wegvlug word paradoksaal ook die gevangenisskap wat verhoed dat hy kan ontsnap. Bartho Smit se omstrede drama word ’n bepeinsing van die vergeefse ontwyking van ’n mishandelde verlede en die gedwonge sosiale verband tussen mense, tussen man en vrou, tussen Paul en Christine.

Paul Harmse’s struggle to make sense of life becomes a circle of liberation and self-torture; his evasion of an ever present guilt paradoxically consolidates his imprisonment. Bartho Smit’s controversial drama becomes a meditation on the futility of avoiding an abusive past and the forced social covenant between people, between husband and wife, between Paul and Christine.

TJ se vertroue is ernstig geknou ná ’n vernederende nederlaag. Vanaand wag ’n ander tweestryd in die kleedkamer wat hul vriendskap tot die uiterste sal toets. Dié opwindende stuk, vol mannegedrag, grootbek-stories oor meisies en kleedkamerpraatjies versteek ’n delikate ontginning van vriendskap, seksualiteit en wedersydse afhanklikheid met die emosionele uitklopkrag van ’n swaargewigbokser.

TJ, a promising boxer on the eve of a match that can make or break his career, is waiting for his bosom friend Jaco who prepares him physically and mentally for fights. TJ’s confidence was badly bruised after a humiliating defeat. A different kind of tussle awaits them in the dressing room tonight, testing the limits of their friendship. This exciting play, full of male bravado, bragging stories about girls and dressing room talks, hides a delicate delving into friendship, sexuality and mutual dependence with the emotional knock-out power of a heavyweight boxer.

Jerry Mofokeng wa Makhetha, Mosili Makuta 14 Jul 20:00, 15 Jul 10:30 Daar is ’n bloedskandige attraksie in mag wat mans en vroue lok om in uiterstes te verval om hul magsposisies te behou. Tseka, ’n oorlogsveteraan, kan nie toelaat dat ’n jong vrou die setel neem waarvoor hy 25 jaar lank geveg en gewag het nie. Dipuo is haar pa se dogter.

Haar vegkrag het gemaak dat sy die wêreld deurkruis om haar land se vryheid en demokrasie te laat gebeur. Die stuk speel af teen die agtergrond van die noodtoestand (Qomatsi) in 1970 in Lesotho. Wanneer ’n party 25 jaar lank sukkel om die gety van Qomatsi te draai en verkiesings te wen duik nuwe magsdinamika op. Jerry span saam met sy protégé Mosili om dié menslike verhaal in ’n tyd van oorwinning te vertel. Die storie is fiktief – dit weerspieël die reise van baie Afrikalande. Die produksie is deur die fees aangevra.

There is an incestuous attraction to power that lures men and women to go to extremes to secure and keep positions of power. Tseka, a war veteran, will not bear to let a young woman occupy the seat that he has been fighting and waiting for for 25 years. Dipuo is her father’s daughter. Her resilience has led her to traverse the world on missions of intelligence for her country to realise its freedom and democracy. The play unfolds against a backdrop of Qomatsi – the State of Emergency imposed in Lesotho in 1970. When a party has struggled for 25 years to turn the tide of Qomatsi and wins the elections – new power dynamics emerge.

Jerry and his protégé Mosili Makuta capture the human story that plays itself out in a time of victory. The story is fictional – it reflects journeys of many African countries.

This production was commissioned by the festival.

He sits in a wheelchair and Ingrid Jonker appears before him, the fairy queen who is calling him to the other side.

Anna, sy dogter, sorg dat hy alles het wat nodig is. Sy horlosie is (weer) weg; hy wéét sy versorger het dit gesteel. Hy wonder ook oor Anna se nuwe liefde.

En hy herken nie die stoel in sy sitkamer nie. En wie is die weird vrou wat soms maak asof sy Anna is? En waar is sy jonger dogter – vir wie hy eintlik lief is? Een vir een gaan die liggies in sy kop af. Dié snaakse, roerende wêreldtreffer is ’n studie van geheue, van familie en van herinneringe, en kry met ’n wêreldklas-rolverdeling lewe in Afrikaans.

André is 65. His daughter Anna sees to his needs. His watch has gone missing (again) and he knows that this time it has been stolen. He worries about Anna’s new boyfriend who looks scaly. And he doesn’t recognise the chair in his living room. And who is the weird woman who sometimes pretends to be Anna? And where is his youngest daughter – the one he really loves? One by one the lights in his head go out. This funny, moving international hit is a study in memory, of family and remembrance, and the brilliant cast brings it to life in Afrikaans

Hy leer by die ander: Sandy Hook. Columbine. Hy herhaal daai lys van medeskoliere in sy kop: die meisie wat hom ingoreer, die ou wat hom terroriseer, die klomp vir wie hy nie bestaan nie. Maar môre is alles anders; môre is alles verby. Hy het die gewere, die ammunisie en môre gaan daai skoolklok lui en geweerskote gaan antwoord. . . Maar eers vanaand - sy pa lê dronk en sy boetie slaap. Hy vaar die donker Bloemfontein in. Hy ontmoet die dronkes, die onsigbares, die treuriges. En altyd is die Donkerman net agter hom, sy konstante metgesel. Ondersteun deur UV-studentesake.

He learns from the others: Sandy Hook. Columbine. He repeats the list of fellow learners in his head: the girl who ignores him, the guy who terrorises him, those for whom he doesn’t exist. But tomorrow everything will change. He has the guns, the ammunition and tomorrow when the school bell rings, gunshots wil answer . . .

But first tonight – dad is drunk and his brother asleep.

He enters the dark Bloemfontein streets. He meets the drunks, the disillusioned, the freaks. And the Dark Man, his constant companion, follows him everywhere.

Destyds in Europa is sy bekyk, ontdek, bevoel, bedek en bewonder; meer onlangs in Suid-Afrika ook. Sarah is ’n besinning oor ’n teater, ’n vertoning en ’n akteur wat woorde opsê: ’n slaaf van die rol wat vir haar gekies word, ’n ou koei in ’n diep sloot wat teen wil en dank opgegrawe is.

Saartjie Baartman’s remains were buried on a hill in Africa surrounded by a green devil’s fork fence. Way back in Europe she was ogled, exploited, admired, covered and coveted; more recently in South Africa too.

Sarah is a contemplation about a theatre, a performance and an actor who recites lines: a slave to the part that was chosen for her in an old story that was raked up in spite of itself.

Twee oues wat nuwe dinge ervaar, deur mekaar se brille daarna kyk en lag terwyl hulle wag. ”Die Wagkamer is vol deernis vir ou mense, dit skyn die lig op ons oumas en oupas, ons ma’s en ons pa’s, en uiteindelik op elkeen van ons.” Marina Griebenow, KKNK 2015

For the absent-minded Bertie and Alfrieda Botha it is time to scale down. They arrive in their new home in House Herfsblaar and with it comes new worries and new fears. An old couple experiencing something new, seeing it through each other’s glasses and laughing while waiting.

“Die Wagkamer is full of empathy for old people, it sheds light on our grandmothers and grandfathers, our mothers and fathers, and eventually on each of us.”

In die proses onthul sy die werklike redes hoekom vroue nog mans “aanhou” en ontleed die Suid Afrikaanse “braai” in detail uit ’n blonde sielkundige oogpunt. En natuurlik lei dit na ingewikkelde onderwerpe soos trofeejag, homeopatie, aragnofobie en hondsdolheid. EN vir die eerste keer verskyn ouma Dowe Dolla om ’n meer wyse en histeriese, ek bedoel historiese, perspektief aan alledaagse gebeure in ons land te gee. #proudlysêfafrican

One of the top 10 at this year’s KKNK! Dolla storms into the dangerous cyber space to deconstruct the difference between Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Solitaire. In the process she reveals the real reasons why women keep men, and she analyses the South African “braai” in detail from a blonde psychological perspective. Of course this leads to complicated topics like trophy hunt, homeopathy, arachnophobia and rabies. AND for the first time granny Dowwe Dolla appears to give a wiser and a hysterical, sorry, historical, perspective to things happening everyday in our country. #proudlysêfafrican

Gert Struwig is ’n rêrige êrige grotman. Hy is beslis nie ’n metroman nie. Naas die Bybel, is rugby sy grootste aanwyser. Hy beplan sy braaie, sy gesin, sy seks, sy kerk toe gaan en sy gesin se aktiwiteite rondom rugby.

Sy lewe draai om rugby. Sy helde is rugbyspelers. Sy bestaan is rugby. ’n Eg tipies Suid-Afrikaanse man!

Skaterlagtye saam met die Grotheld en ’n komiese kykie na Suid-Afrikaanse rugby. Maar dan gebeur die lewe en Gert se bestaan word dramaties verander met sy eie vraag: “Is ek ’n Grotheld?”

Gert Struwig is a real caveman. Definitely not a metroman. Next to the Bible, rugby is his biggest indicator. He plans his braais, his family, his sex, his church visits and his family’s activities around rugby. His life centres around rugby. His heroes are rugbyplayers. His existence is rugby. A real, typical South African man! Roar with laughter at the Cave Hero and a comical look at South African rugby. But then life happens and Gert’s existence changes dramatically when he questions: “Am I a Cave Hero?”

Dan lui die voordeurklokkie en ’n gros klein jakkalsies daag ongenooid op en begin hulle stadig maar seker in jul huwelik tuismaak.

Things begin to itch and scratch and the marriage flame is in phase three load shedding and you realise the little foxes are spoiling the vines. If you are married you will recognise these foxes and if you’re thinking about marrying this comedy will be excellent preparation.

Voordat Engela van Tonder-Strydom weet wat haar tref, hardloop hy tas en al af met die trappe, uit by die voordeur en uit Engela se lewe. Dis eers later dat sy hoor van Rosa, die jong kaktusbloeiseltjie wat Manie in Mexiko ontmoet het. Op sy besigheidstrippie. En dinge verander. Uit die stal van Lyf, Die Naaimasjien en Shirley Valentyn kom Geraldine Aron se wêreldtreffer.

It was rather strange the day Manie returned from his business trip and started packing instead of unpacking.

Before Engela van Tonder-Strydom knew what hit her, he ran down the stairs, out the front door and out of Engela’s life – suitcase and all. Only later did she hear about Rosa, the little cactus blossom Manie had met in Mexico. On his business trip. And things change.

Die tehuis is omhein soos ’n tronk met wagte en selfs honde. Al hoe jy hier uitkom, is in ’n doodskis.

Hulle het nog lank nie boedel oorgegee nie.

Two grumpy old guys land up in an old age home.

Actually it’s more like a reformatory for the rich elderly who have become a nuisance or has been expelled from other institutions. The place is fenced like a jail with guards and even dogs. The only way out is in a coffin. Right from the start the ooms clash, but realise quickly it’s rather “us against the kids!” They will only make baskets and do tolletjie knitting if it is part of an impressive escape plan! They are far from being over the hill.

Kleinsus is haar lewe lank afgeknou en vier vannag haar geboortedag met die moordlustigste planne en poëtiese vryheid.

It’s sparks, feet, fists, morphine and arsenic all the way as the two shamelessly try to stab each other in the back!

Pret met skreeusnaakse nuwe Lollos-liedjies, asook van die ou bekendes.

Lollos has lost his laugh. His little wings can’t flap anymore so he can’t fly, not even when the children laugh. This makes Lollos very sad. Lettie and Disco must make a plan so that Lollos can get his laugh back.

They ask Karla to hold a competition to find someone who will make Lollos laugh again. Together they have lots of fun and share funny new songs, as well as some old favourites. Come and sing along!

Rekenskap is ’n vars, moderne verwerking van die 15de eeuse moraliteitspel, Elkeman. Ons vergesel Elkeman op ’n sielsoekende pelgrimstog en word deur die abstrakte karakters gedwing om dieper in die kamers van ons eie harte te delf. Dis ’n stuk vol hartstogtelike emosie en spreek universele temas soos skuldgevoel, hoop, verwerping en dan uiteindelik vergifnis aan.

Ilne Fourie

Lize-Marié Swart, Craig Steyn

In ’n wêreld soos vandag is dit nodig vir mans om ’n kursus by te woon om meisies se harte op ’n romantiese manier te steel. Hier by die VVVVVV of in kort die Valentyns-voorbereidingskool vir Vreeslose Volbloed Vryerige Vabonde seëvier respek, trots en deursettingsvermoë, ’n man moet wees soos ’n rots waarop sy ribbokkie haar fyn hoefies kan vind en veilig voel. Die leuse is nie verniet: ’n hartedief het almal lief, maar ’n hart van goud word saam-saam oud.

Die afsterwe van Ant Mavis kon nie op ’n meer ongeleë tyd vir die inwoners van Bloupan in die Boesmanland gekom het nie. Wie is die vrou van die stad wat uit die bloute vir die begrafnis opgedaag het? Maar belangriker: waarom klou Ant Mavis selfs in die dood so vas?

Miskien is dit tyd om inspirasie te vind in New York, Nigerië en Parys se trane. Die gehoor word deur beweging, visuele beelde en Fanie se lewenstryd gekonfronteer met die vraag, “Watter bydrae het jy tot iemand anders se haat gemaak?”

Fanie has to deal with more than his dad’s death; a hurt that can’t be buried six feet underground. One the kids at school are continuously harping on.

Maybe it is time to find inspiration in the tears of New York, Nigeria and Paris.

Through movement, visual images and Fanie’s life struggle the audience is confronted with the question, “what contribution did you make towards somebody’s hate?”

Tribute to the recently deceased Chris Barnard who wrote the screenplay. This affirming story of one womans struggle to free herself from the past, and how that affects the small fishing village where she lives, shows that faith can move mountains, or unmake them. When Klara loses her father and her fiancé at sea, she decides she never wants to see the ocean again.

11 Jul 14:30, 15 Jul 18:00 Wenner van Cannes se Un Certain Regard se spesiale jurieprys. Elena is ’n boeiende, moderne kinkel van die klassieke noir-riller. Vladimir en Elena, albei in die sestig, deel sy yslike Moskou-woonstel – dis duidelik die vaal Elena het ‘n goeie vangs gemaak. Vervreem van sy eie dogter, is dit te verstane dat Vladimir Elena se seun verpes wat op hulle teer. Wanneer hy skielik sterf en Elena dalk sonder geld gaan sit, is dit duidelik dat sy vinnig ’n desperate plan moet maak.

Winner of Cannes’ Un Certain Regard Special Jury Prize, Elena is a gripping, modern twist on the classic noir thriller. Sixty-ish spouses Vladimir and Elena uneasily share his palatial Moscow apartment – he’s a still-virile, wealthy businessman; she’s his dowdy former nurse who has clearly “married up.” Estranged from his own wild-child daughter, Vladimir openly despises his wife’s freeloading son and family. But when a sudden illness threaten the dutiful housewife’s potential inheritance, she must hatch a desperate plan. A subtly stylish exploration of crime, punishment and human nature.

Haar dokwerkerman verdien minder; ’n gewelddadige, alkoholiese lummel wat die lewe vir Maria en hul dogter hel maak deur sy tirannieke, gewelddadige gedrag. As die dokwerkers begin staak en die gesin se finansies krimp, wen Maria ’n Contessa-kamera.

Sy wil dit verkoop, maar ‘n winkelier oorreed haar om dit te hou en sy begin pragtige foto’s neem wat haar selfvertroue bou.

Inspired by a true story. Maria devotes all of her attention, care, and consideration to the well-being of her family – but at the expense of her own identity and self-awareness. Her dockworker husband deserves less; a brutish, alcoholic lout who is making life hell for Maria and their daughter with tyrannical, abusive behaviour.

The dockworkers go on strike and the family’s economic situation plummets. Maria wins a Contessa camera in a lottery. A shopowner convinces her to keep the camera and by taking gorgeous, haunting photographs the woman’s self-discovery builds.

11 Jul 12:00, 14 Jul 16:30 In 1921 was Jimmy Gralton se sonde om ’n danssaal op die Ierse platteland te bou op die vooraand van ‘n burgeroorlog. Die Pearse-Connolly-saal was ’n plek waar jong mense kon kom leer, argumenteer en droom . . . maar veral dans en pret hê. Soos die saaltjie se gewildheid toegeneem het, het sy sosialistiese en vrydenkende reputasie die aandag van die kerk en politici getrek wat Jimmy gedwing het om te vlug en die saal laat sluit het.

In 1921 Jimmy Gralton’s sin was to build a dance hall on a rural crossroads in an Ireland on the brink of Civil War.The Pearse-Connolly Hall was a place where young people could come to learn, to argue, to dream . . . but above all to dance and have fun. As the hall grew in popularity its socialist and free-spirited reputation brought it to the attention of the church and politicians who forced Jimmy to flee and the hall to close.

Met die volgehoue steun van sy buurt staan Marcel op teen die amptenare wat die seun soek om hom te deporteer. Le Havre is bekoorlike, “deadpan” genot, ’n politieke sprokie wat êrens tussen eietydse Franse en die klassieke rolprente van Jean-Pierre Melville en Marcel Carné val.

In this warmhearted portrait of the French harbour city that gives the film its name, fate throws young African refugee Idrissa into the path of Marcel Marx, a well-spoken bohemian who works as a shoeshiner.

With innate optimism and the unwavering support of his community, Marcel stands up to officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation. A political fairy tale that exists somewhere between the reality of contemporary France and the classic cinema of Jean-Pierre Melville and Marcel Carné, Le Havre is a charming, deadpan delight.

Oor ‘n week trou die jong minnaars Hero en Claudio.

Om die tyd te verwyl, konkel hulle met Don Pedro om ’n “liefdestrik” vir Benedick, ’n arrogante, hardkoppige oujongkêrel, en Beatrice, sy gewilde skermmaat, te stel.

Intussen wil die bose Don Jon die huwelik keer. Maar op die tippie blyk dit na “veel lawaai, weinig wol”.

To pass the time, they conspire with Don Pedro to set a “lover’s trap” for Benedick, an arrogant confirmed bachelor, and Beatrice, his favorite sparring partner. Meanwhile, the evil Don Jon conspires to break up the wedding by accusing Hero of infidelity. In the end, though, it all turns out to be “much ado about nothing”.

Sy werke spruit uit intensiewe prosesse van sif, versamel, orden, skep en ontvorming, neem dikwels jare om te voltooi en is altyd oop vir nuwe betekenis en nuwe skeppings.

Boshoff is ’n obsessiewe versamelaar en taksonoom van voorwerpe, natuurlik en mensgemaak, van woorde en “paraphernalia” uit die verskeie dissiplines van letterkunde, filosofie, plantkunde, geografie, volkekunde en musiek. Die kunstenaar se belangstellings word en verskaf hom van media vir sy werk. Die uitstalling bestaan uit gekeurde werke wat hy oor die laaste tien jaar gemaak het.

Willem Boshoff is a conceptual artist of international renown, having engaged his social, political and environmental contexts in evocative mixed media works, installations and performance art for over thirty years. His works result from intensive processes of sifting, collecting, ordering, crafting and translating, often taking years to complete and always opening up to new meanings and bodies of work. Boshoff is an obsessive collector and taxonomist of objects both natural and manmade, of words and paraphernalia from the various disciplines of literature, philosophy, botany, geography, anthropology and music. The artist’s interests both become and provide him with media for his work. This exhibition features selective works created over the last ten years by the artist.

Word Woes is ’n muurinstallasie van veertien meter gebou uit handgemaakte kleibakstene. Letters is op individuele stene in reliëf aangebring en spel 290 woorde wat in Engels en Afrikaans gelees kan word, maar heeltemal verskillende betekenisse in die twee tale het. Die werk verteenwoordig ’n spookagtige verwantskap tussen die twee tale wat die taalverskille uitwys as terselfdertyd ’n bron van spel, humor, verwarring en verskil. Selfs die titel, “Word Woes”, suggereer in Engels hartseer oor woorde en taal, terwyl as dit in Afrikaans gelees word suggereer dit rof of onbeheerbaar word, of selfs verlatenheid. Die werk besin oor die debat rondom onderrigtale op tradisioneel Afrikaanse universiteitkampusse, onlangs deur studentebewegings vir transformasie versterk. Die werk is ‘n opdragwerk vir Liedjiesbos. ’n Teetuin sal beskikbaar wees by Liedjiesbos.

Word Woes is a fourteen-metre wall installation of hand-made clay bricks.

Letters embossed on individual bricks spell out 290 words that are readable in English and Afrikaans but have completely different meanings in the two languages. The work presents an uncanny relationship between the two languages, highlighting linguistic difference as simultaneously a source of play, humour, confusion and disagreement. The very title “Word Woes” in English suggests either grief about words or language, or when read in Afrikaans, suggests becoming rough or uncontrollable, even desolate. The work reflects on the debates around languages for instruction at traditionally Afrikaans university campuses, recently intensified by student movements for transformation. The work has been commissioned by Liedjiesbos. A tea garden will be available at Liedjiesbos.

Vrystaat Kunstefees • Arts Festival • Tsa-Botjhaba 2016

Literatuurfees | Literary Festival | Domgodilweng

Dit is nie toeval nie dat skrywers in Bloemfontein rondom die tema “Ons Afrika” saamtrek. Dit is hiér, in die hartjie van die land, waar ons gaan nadink oor sake na aan die hart.

It is not by accident that authors will gather in Bloemfontein around the theme “Our Africa”. It is here, in the heart of the country, where we will reflect on matters close to the heart.

Die program wil dié eienskappe van ’n goeie boek weerspieël: dit wil vermaak, ontroer én prikkel.

Kom beleef ons nuwe tuiste in die ATKV-Eeufees-gebou. Met die nuutste boeke te koop, goeie koffie, gerieflike sitplek, uitgesoekte kosse en drankies het jy niks meer nodig nie.

The program wants to reflect these characteristics of a good book: entertaining, moving and stimulating. Come and experience our new home in the ATKVCentenary Building. With brand new books on sale, good coffee, comfortable seating and drinks you don’t need anything else.

Dit is vir my ’n groot voorreg om betrokke te kan wees by hierdie eerste literatuurfees en ek wil graag alle borge bedank - in besonder prof.

Jonathan Jansen en Cornelia Faasen van die Universiteit van die Vrystaat, wat in hierdie tye wat feeste afskaal, juis belê in ’n nuwe platform vir skrywers en boeke.

It is a great privelege for me to be part of this very first literary festival and want to thank all sponsors – especially prof. Jonathan Jansen and Cornelia Faasen of the University of the Free State who are, at times when festivals are scaling down, rather investing in a new platform for writers and books.

Ek verwelkom graag ons internasionale skrywers, onder wie Chika Unigwe, Zakes Mda, Jacob Dlamini, Wilfried N’Sondé en Kader Abdolah.

I gladly welcome our international authors, amongst them Chika Unigwe, Zakes Mda, Jacob Dlamini, Wilfried N’Sondé and Kader Abdolah.

Geniet die fees – en onthou om boeke te koop!

Enjoy the festival – and remember to buy books!

Gawie Pistorius; Maretha Maartens (gesprekleier/talk host) 11 Jul, 13:00 Hierdie boek is ’n praktiese gids tot geloofsekerheid in ’n moderne wêreld vol onsekerhede, asook ’n handleiding tot die praktiese uitlewing daarvan.

Dit verskaf nuwe en vars perspektiewe oor talle geloofsvrae van ons tyd, soos onder andere die stryd tussen geloof en wetenskap, die skepping (ses dae of 15 miljard jaar), evolusie, uitverkiesing, die maagdelike geboorte, hemelvaart van Jesus, en veel meer. Hierdie opwindende boek verskaf in eenvoudige gesprekstaal gemotiveerde antwoorde vir talle kwessies rakende die geloofsaspekte waarmee baie mense daagliks worstel.

This book is a practical guide towards religious conviction in a modern world full of insecurities, as well as a practical realisation thereof. It provides new and fresh perspectives about many faith questions of our times, like the struggle between faith and science, the creation (six days or 15 billion years), evolution, doctrine of predestination, the virginal birth, ascension of Jesus, and many more.This exciting book provides in everyday language motivated answers for many issues about faith aspects that people struggle with daily.

Hy is ook maar mens en vind lyflikheid en geestelikheid bots. Vida, die hoofkarakter in Bernette Bergenthuin se Viva la Vida, is dertig en hou van haar werk. Dis haar ma en haar vriendinne wat bekommerd raak, nie sy nie. Tog raak sy verlief. Dit kan nie, dit mag nie. Hy is haar beste vriend en sy gaan nie dié vriendskap opfoeter nie. Du Plessis en Bergenthuin gesels oor hul jongste romans waarin die liefde onder kruisverhoor geplaas word.

The rev. Johannes from the Colony, the main character in Hans du Plessis’s new novel, Tussen die klippe, is sent in 1851 by the Synodal Commission to hear a case of ecclesiastical discipline. He is only human and finds that corporeality and spirituality clash. Vida, the main character in Bernette Bergenthuin’s Viva la vida, is 30 and likes her work. It’s her mom and friends who are worried, not she. Yet she falls in love. It cannot be, it must not. He is her best friend and she doesn’t want to mess up this friendship. Du Plessis and Bergenthuin talk about their latest novels in which love is under cross-examination.

In Geagte Jahwe rig Willie Esterhuyse elf briewe direk aan Jahwe, God se Bybelse noemnaam. En hy skroom nie om kernsake van ons tyd oop te sny en basiese lewensvrae oop te boor nie – soos die stryd tussen gelowe en die ineenstorting van samelewings. Hy bied ook rigting vir soekende denkers oor ’n ander kyk op God vir ons tyd. Hy daag ons uit om verder te dink: met die “gees van omgee” wat verby die stukkend en seer kyk, na ’n wêreld wat menslik en leefbaar vir almal is.

Wil l ie Est erh u yse

In Geagte Jahwe Willie Esterhuyse writes eleven letters directly to Jahwe, God’s Biblical name. He doesn’t hesitate to cut open essentials of our time and lay bare basic life problems – like the battle between religions and the collapse of societies. He points out directions for seeking thinkers about another view of God for our times. He challenges us to think further: with the “spirit of caring” that looks past the broken and the hurt to a world that is humane and liveable for all.

Dit is ’n oorlog waaroor skrywers nie uitgeskryf raak nie. Waarom is hierdie oorlog se impak so groot? Wat is die relevansie daarvan vir ons hedendaagse samelewing? Waarom verkoop hierdie literatuur so goed en wil mense nog daaroor lees? Albert Blake, (Boereverraaiers en Broedertwis), Johan Kruger (Die dag van die lord) en Francois Smith (Kamphoer), wat op uiteenlopende wyses oor die oorlog skryf, kom gesels saam.

The Anglo Boer War is still close to the hearts of many South Africans. It is a war that writers just can’t let alone. Why is the impact of this war so great? What is its relevance for the present society? Why does this literature sell so well and people want to read more about it? Albert Blake (Boereverraaiers and Broedertwis), Johan Kruger (Die dag van die lord) and Francois Smith (Kamphoer), who wrote from many angles about the war, join in the conversation.

JC van der Merwe & Dionne van Reenen; Ruda Landman (gesprekleier/talk host) 12 Jul, 13:00 Die UV se “Reitz-insident” van 2008 word beskou as ’n kritieke stadium wat ’n moment definieer binne die landskap van hoër onderwys in post-apartheid Suid-Afrika. Transformation and Legitimation in Postapartheid Universities ondersoek die gebeurtenis op sigself, die polemiek daar rondom, en ook die praktyke en idees waarbinne dit vasgelê was.

The 2008 “Reitz incident” at the UFS is seen as a critical juncture which defines a moment in the postapartheid South African higher education landscape.

Transformation and legitimation in the post-apartheid universities conducts an in-depth investigation into the event itself, the rhetoric surrounding it, and the set of practices and ideas in which it was embedded.

In her popular interviews in Rapport not only does she get ordinary and famous South Africans to invite readers into their homes, but also to open their hearts to them. Anderkant uit is a collection from these interviews with people who had been hit by trauma but who had decided to stand up again.

John Kani; Zakes Mda (gesprekleier/talk host) 12 Jul, 16:00 John Kani, legendariese Suid-Afrikaanse akteur, regisseur en dramaturg, gesels oor sy jongste drama, Missing. Die toneelstuk vertel die verhaal van Robert Khalipa, ’n ANCkameraad wat in Swede in ballingskap leef en uitgelaat is in die onderhandelinge. Robert is getroud met Anna, ’n welgestelde Sweed, en hulle het ’n dogter wat in ’n hospitaal in Stockholm praktiseer. Daar is ook Robert se protégé, Peter Tshabalala, wat, hoewel hy nie soos Robert ’n senior ANC-lid is nie, uitgenooi word om aan te sluit by die demokratiese Suid-Afrikaanse regering. Wat hierop volg, is ’n verhaal van leuens, rugstekery en teleurstellings.

Die gesprek strek ook wyer – oor ’n lewe in die teater.

John Kani, legendary South African actor, director and playwright, talks about his latest drama, Missing. It is about Robert Khalipa, an ANC comrade who lives in exile in Sweden and was left out totally during negotiations. He is married to Anna, a rich Swede, and they have a daughter who practices in a hospital in Sweden. There is also Robert’s protégé, Peter Tshabalala, who has been invited to join the democratic South African government, even though he is not a senior ANC member. What follows is a story of lies, back stabbing and disappointments. The talk will reach wider – about a life in the theatre

Carel van der Merwe; Hennie van Coller (gesprekleier/talk host) 13 Jul, 10:00 In 1896, kort voor die Anglo-Boereoorlog, vertrek die jong koerantman Eugène Marais na Londen om regte te gaan studeer. Marais het sowat vyf jaar in Brittanje vertoef. In Donker stroom onthul Van der Merwe presies waarmee Marais hom tydens die oorlog besig gehou het – geskiedenis wat almal gedink het verlore is. Dié geskiedenis blyk nou het veel meer met Lord Milner, Percy FitzPatrick en die Randlords te doen as wat ’n mens jou kan indink. Kom luister waar Van der Merwe sy inligting opgediep het.

In 1896, shortly before the Anglo Boer War, a young journalist, Eugène Marais, left for London to study law.

Marais stayed in London for about five years. In Donker stroom Van der Merwe reveals what Marais was doing during those years – a history that everyone thought was lost. It seems now this history had more to do with Lord Milner, Percy Fitzpatrick and the Rand Lords than you could think possible. Come hear where Van der Merwe dug up his information.

Wat is ’n eie taal en die invloed daarvan op ’n gedeelde konseptuele kyk op sosio-ekonomiese kwessies? Unigwe is in Enugu, Nigerië, gebore, maar verhuis na België waar sy naam maak as skrywer.

N’Sondé is ’n Kongolees wat na Frankryk verhuis het.

Abdolah vlug op sy beurt uit sy geboorteland, Iran, nadat hy twee kritiese romans geskryf het oor die lewe onder die Khomeini-regime. Ook Alfred Schaffer, wie se ma van Aruba kom, en sy pa ‘n Nederlander is, maak naam as Nederlandse digter en woon deesdae in Suid-Afrika.

What role does language and culture play in a writer’s viewpoint on reality, especially if it is a new language or foreign country?

Dié gebore Vrystater uit Boshof was ‘n eersterangse taalkenner, wat naas sy moedertaal, Tswana, ook Engels, Afrikaans, Nederlands, Frans, Duits, Sotho, Zoeloe en Xhosa kon praat. Hy vertaal ‘n aantal werke van swart skrywers in Europese tale, en Engelse werke, by name dié van William Shakespeare, in Tswana.

Zakes Mda, wat die eerste lesing sal lewer, is gebore in die Oos-Kaap in 1948, waarna hy grootgeword het in Soweto. Hy sluit later aan by sy pa wat in ballingskap in Lesotho was.

Hier voltooi hy sy skoolloopbaan.

Jan van der Merwe, Jan Lubbe, Barnard Steyn

Dié boek gedenk die 150-jarige bestaan van die NG Kerk se Sinode in die Vrystaat. In die boek word vertel hoe die kerk in die Vrystaat gevestig is, die rol van die kerk in die destydse Basotho-oorloë en die Anglo-Boereoorlog, asook in die Rebellie. Een van die insiggewende feite is dat die NG Kerk in die Vrystaat die eerste Sinode was wat Afrikaans as amptelike taal van die kerk aanvaar het.

Die boek is geen selfverheerlikingskrywe nie, en fokus byvoorbeeld ook op die kerk se apartheidsverlede. Daar word ook gekyk na die kerk se dalende lidmaat-getal, die dilemma rondom Belhar en die verhouding tussen die NG Kerk, die Verenigende Gereformeerde Kerk in Suider-Afrika (VGKSA) en die NG Kerk in Afrika (NGKA).

14 Jul, 10:00

The book celebrates 150 years of the Synod of the Dutch Reformed Church in the Free State. It tells how the church started in the Free State, the role of the church during the Basotho wars and later the Anglo Boer War, as well as the 1914 Rebellion. Illuminating is the fact that the Synod of the DR Church in the Free State was the first to accept Afrikaans as official language of the Church. The book is not self-praising; it focuses for example on the church’s apartheid past. It also looks at the declining parishioners, the dilemma around Belhar and the relations between the DR Church, the Uniting Reformed Church in Southern Africa (URCSA) and the DR Church in Africa.

Francois Verster; Rudie van Rensburg (gesprekleier/talk host) 14 Jul, 13:00 Verster deel skreeusnaakse ervarings in die weermag van ouds; van aggressiewe korporaals, dodelike verveling en rigiede reëls wat geen individualiteit toelaat nie. Sy staaltjies word verweef met ’n tweede, ernstiger verhaallyn wat in die hede afspeel en gaan oor sy lewe as ’n argivaris in Kaapstad. By die argief moet hy as’t ware ’n tweede keer diensplig vir sy land doen, omdat hy weens regstellende aksie oorgesien word vir bevordering. Dié geensins verromantiseerde storie bied ’n vars hoek op die Grensoorlog-genre, maar werp ook lig op die wyse waarop talle Afrikaner-mans in hul middeljare die nuwe Suid-Afrika beleef.

In a farcical way Verster tells of his experiences in the army of yesteryear; from aggressive corporals, deadly boredom to rigid rules that left no gap for individuality.

There is a second, more serious storyline, Francois’ life in the present as archivist in Cape Town. It’s as if he is doing conscription for his country for a second time, because affirmative action prohibits him being promoted. The story is not romanticised and presents a fresh outlook in the Border War genre, but also sheds light on the way many Afrikaner men in their middle age experience South Africa.

Charelle Koopman, Niek se loseerder, verdwyn eendag, en ’n welaf kunstenaar maak ’n verdagte aanbod op Niek se huis. Op Stellenbosch skryf ’n vrou met ’n haaslip ’n monografie oor die kuns van die Olivier-broers, en word op ’n dag ooggetuie van ’n moord. Kort hierna nader ’n holwangkêrel haar met ’n vreemde voorstel. Dit is die gegewens van die veelbekroonde Ingrid Winterbach se nuutste roman, Vlakwater.

It is a continent of contradictions that is changing irrevocably, finds Kevin Bloom and Richard Poplak in their book Continental shift, which took them for nine years through Africa. What is the new face of Africa? Achille Mbembe, philosopher and writer of On the postcolony, reflects with Bloom, Poplak and Victor Kgomoeswana (Africa is open for business) on the prospects of our continent.

Sylvia Vollenhoven; Kirby van der Merwe (gesprekleier/talk host) 15 Jul, 10:00 Vollenhoven vertel in haar boek The keeper of the Kumm die aangrypende verhaal van haar soeke na ’n identiteit en hoe om uiteindelik ontslae te raak van die spoke van die verlede. Eers was sy as “mixed” aangedui op haar geboortesertifikaat; toe deur die Apartheidsregering as “coloured” onderdruk. Daarna word sy deel van die swart bewussyn-beweging, maar die “swart”-etiket sê niks van haar geskiedenis nie. Toe, nadat sy ernstig siek raak, begin sy om haar Khoisan-agtergrond op te diep om te verstaan hoe haar mense inpas in hierdie land en kontinent.

In her book The keeper of the Kumm Vollenhoven tells the moving story of her search for identity and how she has been forced to exorcise the ghosts of the past. First she was classified “mixed” on her birth certificate, then suppressed by the Apartheid government as “coloured”.

She embraced the black consciousness movement but a “black” label said nothing of her history. After becoming seriously ill she started delving into her Khoisan heritage to understand how her people fit into this country and this continent.

Kinderstories vir Afrika $$

Ons het soveel kulture en soveel stories om te vertel.

Verhale eie aan ons fassinerende land en vasteland.

Maar hoe ver het ons al gevorder om gedeelde karakters te skep wat deur alle Suid-Afrikaanse kinders geken en waardeer kan word? Moet ons nie harder werk om ons kinders se verbeeldings te prikkel deur verhale uit eie bodem nie? Hoe kan ouers stories vir hul kinders opmaak?

We have so many cultures and so many stories to tell.

Stories peculiar to our fascinating land and continent.

But how far have we come in creating shared characters who will be known and appreciated by all South African children? Shouldn’t we work harder to stimulate our children’s imagination by our own stories? How can parents make up stories for their children?

Dominique Botha, Kader Abdolah, Sindiwe Magona; Amanda Botha (gesprekleier/talk host) 15 Jul, 16:00 Ons kyk na kinderperspektiewe in die letterkunde, en die belang en egtheid van hierdie jong oë wat die leser se verbeelding aangryp. In ’n Suid-Afrikaanse konteks is dit opvallend hoe die kindervertellers en die plattelandse lewe (dink maar aan Alba Bouwer en MER) dikwels op mekaar inspeel. In ’n groter wêreldkonteks is dit juis die pakkende kinderperspektief in boeke soos To kill a mockingbird van Harper Lee wat daarvan ’n wegholsukses help maak het. Hoe werk die kinderperspektief, wat is die bydrae daarvan tot ons letterkunde en hoe speel die politiek van die dag in op hoe ons kindervertellers hul mede-karakters sien?

We look at children perspectives in literature, and the importance and authenticity of these young eyes that catch the reader’s imagination. In a South African context it is conspicuous how the child narrators and country life (compare Alba Bouwer and MER) interact on each other. In a bigger world context it is the child’s perspective that made best sellers of books like Harper Lee’s To kill a mockingbird. How does the child perspective work, what is its contribution towards our literature and how do the politics of the day interact with how our child narrators see their fellow characters?

M O E D E R VA N G O D Maria, Moeder van God is vir die dramaturg die vervulling van ’n hunkering, sedert sy jeugjare, om ’n drama te skryf oor Maria, die moeder van Jesus. Dit vervul vir hom ook ’n behoefte om sy Rooms-Katolieke skoling op die Kaapse Vlakte in herinnering te roep. (Die skrywer sélf is nie Katoliek nie.)

Die verhaal word verbeeldingryk ingevul, en die dowwe stroke ingekleur om ’n kontemporêre samehang te bewerkstellig. Die Bybelse gegewe word só hopelik toeganklik gemaak vir lesers en - baie belangrik - ook vir kinders. Hiervoor het die skrywer die Bybel, Ou en Nuwe Testament, (weer) deeglik gaan lees.

Maria, Moeder van God realiseer vir die skrywer ook ’n familiale belewenis, ’n warm intimiteit: die karakters spreek hom aan soos doodgewone mense - mense wat hy elke dag teëkom, maar wat terselfdertyd hoogs verwikkeld is.

On receiving the Hertzog Prize for Drama Adam Small referred to Pieter Odendaal and his poem Die eerste steen: “I would like to say to the young poet Pieter Odendaal, in connection with his moving lines in which he asks me to accept that his father who was part of the so-called border war, is a good man: Believe me, I can understand that good people were sucked in by die sickness of apartheid.” Now, a few years later, the revered Adam Small talks to Odendaal about a life of verse and wonder, as well as his new drama, Maria, moeder van God.

Ek verstaan.” Nou, paar jaar later, gesels die gevierde Adam Small met Odendaal oor ’n lewe van verse en verwondering, asook oor sy nuutste drama, Maria, moeder van God.

The vrynge is an exciting new initiative that will create a platform for emerging artists, creative practitioners, community organisations and entrepreneurs locally and nationally. The concept behind the vrynge is to combine all forms of expression, which includes theatre, visual arts, fashion, skateboarding, basketball, music, dance, performance art, interdisciplinary and experimental art and site-specific work.

Our desire is for artists to use this wonderful opportunity to explore and engage and learn from each other. Through the workshops we host, they will also get the opportunity to engage with local and international artists.

The vrynge is not only the perfect place for an artistic experience, but also a space where you can let your hair down by joining us at the vrynge farm for our decadent late night parties! As artistic directors, we commit ourselves to the development of emerging artists, by creating a fluid space to showcase their work. Audiences can expect a truly unique festival experience within this vibrant, diverse environment. The vrynge promises to be an exciting, mind blowing addition to the Vrystaat Arts Festival.

Die vrynge is ’n opwindende nuwe inisiatief wat ’n platform vir ontluikende kunstenaars, skeppende praktisyns, gemeenskaporganisasies en entrepreneurs, plaaslik en nasionaal, bied. Die konsep agter vrynge is om alle vorms van uitdrukking te kombineer. Dit sluit in teater, visuele kunste, modes, skaatsplankry, basketbal, musiek, dans, lewende kuns, interdissiplinêre en eksperimentele kuns en plek-spesifieke werk. Ons begeerte is dat kunstenaars hierdie wonderlike geleentheid sal benut om te ontdek en met mekaar te bind en van mekaar te leer. Deur die werksessies wat ons aanbied sal hulle ook die kans kry om met plaaslike en nasionale kunstenaars saam te werk. Die vrynge is nie net die perfekte plek vir ’n artistieke ervaring nie, maar ook ’n plek waar jy kan laat waai deur by ons dekadente laatnagpartytjies op die vrynge farm aan te sluit! As artistieke direkteurs verbind ons ons tot die ontwikkeling van ontluikende kunstenaars deur ’n vloeibare ruimte te skep waarin hulle hul werk kan vertoon.

Gehore kan werklik ’n unieke feeservaring binne hierdie lewendige, uiteenlopende omgewing verwag. Die vrynge beloof om ’n opwindende, verbysterende toevoeging tot die Vrystaat Kunstefees te wees.

Behoort die individu se lewe aan hom of aan die groep, gemeenskap, of die staat? Ons karakters raak aan sake soos geestesversteuring, feminisme, taal en seksuele voorkeure – dis nie net nou relevant nie, maar ook verbode onderwerpe. So wil ons ’n gemeenskap van sensuur blootlê. Vroue het beperkings, hoor hulle aldag.

Afrikaners is nie noodwendig rassisties nie, hul stryd is nie oor ras en kultuur nie, maar hulle is bang hul taal sterf uit. Seksuele voorkeure word dikwels gesensor omdat ons bang is vir homoseksualiteit, biseksualiteit of seksuele aanhangers.

Individuality versus Collectivism. Does the individual’s life belong to him—or to the group, community, society or the state? The characters in our production will touch on issues like mental illnesses, feminism, language and sexual preferences; they are not only relevant, but also on the line of forbidden subjects. We want to expose a censoring society. Women are constantly reminded that they have certain restrictions. Afrikaners are not necessarily racist, but they are afraid of their language dying out. Sexual preferences are often censored, because we are afraid of homosexuality, bisexuality or sexual devotees.

Elize se lewe is normaal. Perfek. Wanneer die foon eendag lui met die nuus dat haar siek moeder dood is, stort haar wêreld ineen. Nie oor die skielike verlies nie, maar oor die toevoeging van ’n nuwe gesinslid. Haar Downsindroom-sussie, Libby. Die ou mensie met die kinderoë . . . ’n Ekstra chromosoom kan ’n las word, want al is ons so eenders bly ons net te anders. Maar soms verstaan iemand dat anders en eenders nie so veel van mekaar verskil nie. Net ’n paar ekstra letters maak die woorde teenoorgesteldes, net ’n ekstra chromosoom kan alles verander.

Elize’s life is normal. Perfect. When the phone rings one day with the news that her sick mother had died, her world collapses. Not because of the sudden loss, but a new family member, her Down Syndrome sister, Libby.

An extra chromosome can be a burden, because even if we are so alike, we are different. But then someone understands that different and alike doesn’t differ that much. Only a few letters make the words opposites, one chromosome extra can change everything.

Maar nie regte rugby nie, so manlik is die twee drag queens nou nie! Hulle is op pad na ’n oudisie vir die TV reeks Getroud met rugby. Maar êrens tussen die maskara en blinkers bevind hulle hul op ’n regte rugbyveld, met regte afrigters en regte spelers. Dis net jammer niemand het vir hulle gesê dit is nie ’n oudisie is nie, maar eerder ’n tryout vir die Harlequins-rugbyklub.

Megan and Petrushka want to play rugby. After all, beneath their make-up and wigs they are men, and rugby is what men do! But not real rugby, so much man these drag queens aren’t. They are on their way to audition for the TV series Getroud met rugby. But somehow between mascara and sequins they land up on a real rugby field, with real coaches and real players.

How come nobody told them it was actually a try-out for the Harlequins Rugby Club.

Is ek te Afrika vir Nederland of ’n voorouersvisum te kry? Waar behoort ek dan? Wat is my herkoms as ’n wit, Afrikaanse/Nederlandse vrou in hierdie ou/nuwe Suid-Afrika? My reeks portrette daag my (toeskouer) uit om myself dié moeilike vrae te vra, vrae sonder antwoorde, maar vrae wat my laat dink oor my persoonlikheid, identiteit, plek as ’n wit vrou, selfs as Afrikaner met sy geërfde geskiedenis. Wie sien ek?

Who am I? Am I an Afrikaner? Am I an African? Am I too Dutch for the country of my birth to be an African?

Am I too African for the Netherlands to receive an ancestral visa? Where do I belong then? What is my heritage then as a white, Afrikaner/Dutch woman in this old/new South Africa? My series of portraits challenges me (onlooker) to ask myself the difficult questions, questions without answers, but questions that makes me think about my personality, identity, place as a white woman, even as an Afrikaner with its inherited history. Who do I see?

‘n Klassieke stuk, Die koffer (André P. Brink), kry ‘n vars en nuwe interpretasie deur gebruik te maak van post-moderne en eksperimentele teater. Die storie word geskep sodat moderne Suid-Afrikaanse gehore daarby aanklank vind. ‘n Kragtige toneelstuk, waar die ongemaklike stemme van Suid-Afrikaners in ‘n wanhopige behoefte aan verandering vir vandag eggo, want môre is dit te laat!

A classic play, Die koffer (André P. Brink), gets a fresh and new interpretation by using post-modern and experimental theatre. The story is created in order for modern South Africans to relate to it. A powerful play where the uncomfortable voices of South Africans resound in a desperate need for change today, because tomorrow is too late.

Met sy pa én sy ma wat deur noodsaaklike, asook korrupte wyses sukses in die lewe probeer behaal, vind Zuko troos in sy politiekmagtige oom, net om die slagoffer van die duiwels te word wat sy korrupte oom teister.

Young Zuko, bursting with innocence, is an unfortunate example of a child who is surrounded by well meaning parents who are unable to make time for their child.

With both his mother and father trying to succeed in life through necessary, as well as corrupt means, Zuko takes comfort in his politically powerful uncle, only to fall prey to the demons which haunt the corrupt comrade.

Daar’s ’n gevoel van verlange, ’n subtiele treurigheid binne ’n lughawe – die groot leegheid wat dié voel wat nie eensaamheid ken nie. In die vertreksitkamer is Johan. Hy gaan op ’n reis om homself te vind, of minstens iemand anders. Kort daarna sal Johan se mense foto’s begin kry van hom in Parys en Milaan en New York. Maar vir hom begin en eindig sy reis in die lughawesitkamer. Die vertoning, synde ’n kabaret, is ’n studie van ’n man op die punt om ’n wye wêreld in te vaar. Sy reis is een van jare, nie afstande nie. Ons delf in sy verstand, sy wese, sy seksualiteit en sy eensaamheid net om te vind wat hy eintlik nodig het, is vrede.

There’s a feeling of longing, a subtle sadness one gets in the lobby of an airport – the profound emptiness felt by those who have never known loneliness. In the departures lounge is Johan. He’s leaving on a trip to find himself, or at least someone else. Soon, Johan’s folks would start receiving pictures of him in Paris and Milan and New York. But for him the journey starts and ends in the airport lobby. The show, being a cabaret, is a study of a man on the verge of jumping into a wider world. His is a journey of years. We delve into Johan’s mind, his being, his sexuality and his loneliness to discover that what he truly needs to find is peace.

Kontemporêre dansproduksie wat deur beweging ’n storie vertel. Die probleme wat mense daagliks in hul liefdesverhoudings ervaar. ’n Man en ’n vrou gaan deur moeilike fases van ’n verhouding om dit te laat werk, maar hulle misluk omdat die vrou verraai voel en ’n mate van isolasie, pyn en kwesbaarheid ervaar. Dis nie net ’n vertoning nie of ’n manier om na die gehoor uit te reik nie, dit word ’n gesprek tussen die gehoor en die dansers.

A contemporary dance production that tells a story through movement. It tackles the issues that people experience in their daily lives and love relationships. A man and a woman who went through the hard stages of a relationship are fighting in order to make it work, but they fail because the woman feels betrayed and a sense of isolation, pain, and vulnerability. It is not just a perfomance or means of reaching out to the audience, it becomes a conversation between the dancers and the audience.

Dit is die aand van 31 Mei 1773, en die skip De Jonge Thomas lê geanker in Tafelbaai, gereed om Annie huis toe te vat, Holland toe, waar die wind jou wange streel en jou saggies teen die wimpers soen; nie ’n Kaapse hel-wind wat aan jou ingewande kom krap nie, soos Annie sou sê.

The story of Wolraad Woltemade, the almost forgotten South African hero, the furious Nortwest wind and a girl in love who wants to marry. It is the evening of 31 May 1773, and the ship De Jonge Thomas lies at anchor in Table Bay, ready to take Annie home, to Holland, where the wind caresses your cheeks and softly kiss your eyelashes; not a howler of a Cape wind that scratches your insides, as Annie would say.

Sy bly vassteek in die verlede. Wat spruit uit tragedie? Sal van ons grootste teenspoed ons op ’n pad van verdere hartseer en verdriet lei? Of kan hoop uit ons diepste emsionele pyn en en lyding gebore word? Terwyl die laaste oomblikke van hul geliefde onthou word, neem die man en die vrou die eerste tree na versoening.

After many years of separation, a man and a woman meet at the grave of a loved one. He lives in the present moment, with a future ahead of him. She remains stuck in the past. What comes from tragedy? Will some of our greatest adversities lead us down a path of further grief and sorrow? Or can hope be born out of our deepest emotional pain and turmoil? While remembering the final moments of their loved one, the man and the woman take their first steps towards reconciliation.

“Funny messages” will let Alice creep deeper into the rabbit hole. The series takes a dark turn into the absurd and back. The exhibition is meant for those who wonders in the early morning hours if the man in the moon is watching too much TV. Not for those with their feet too firm on Terra Firma.

Nie net die fisieke droogte word ondersoek word nie, ook die geestelike en emosionele droogte waarmee die mensdom wroeg.

Sal jy in tyd van nood saam met ander werk of gaan jy toelaat dat die primitiewe oorneem – elkeen vir homself? Wat is jy bereid om op te offer sodat die droogte beëindig kan word?

What if all the water should dry up? Or you have to queue for some water? Drought is the theme and the question is asked: What are you prepared to do to survive? Not only physical drought is explored, also spiritual and emotional drought with which humanity is battling. Will you cooperate with others in times of need or will you allow the primitive to take over – everyone for himself? What are you prepared to offer so that the drought can be ended?

vrynge hat

Die Vrystaat Kunstefees gebruik die vrynge hat as ‘n geleentheid om kunstenaars aan ‘n wyer gehoor bekend te stel en so die mondelinge bemarking vir die bespreekte optredes van die geselskap te verhoog.

Produksies wat vir die vrynge geskeduleer is, kan by die vrynge “line-up” by die vrynge farm optree as publisiteit vir hul vertonings. ‘n Deurwag sal die gratis vertonings bywoon en by die gehoor donasies in jou vrynge hat insamel. Ná elke vertoning sal die gekollekteerde geld by die Vrystaat Kunstefeeskantoor afgelewer word, en jy sal in kennis gestel word om dit af te haal.

The Vrystaat Arts Festival introduced the vrynge hat as an opportunity to give artists access to a wider audience in order to increase the word-ofmouth marketing for subsequent ticketed performances by the company.

Productions scheduled at the Vrynge can perform in the vrynge line-up at the vrynge farm in order to do publicity for their show. An usher will attend your free performance and collect donations made by audience members in our vrynge hat. After your performance the money collected will be delivered to the Vrystaat Arts Festival Office, and you will be notified as to when to collect it.

PIKO / PIAD Transformering deur kunsinnovering / Transformation through art innovation Die Program vir Innovering en Kunsvormontwikkeling (PIKO) is ’n program wat deur die Vrystaat Kunstefees en die Universiteit van die Vrystaat ontwikkel is, ryklik gesteun deur The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The Program for Innovation in Artform Development (PIKO/PIAD) is an initiative of the Vrystaat Arts Festival and the University of the Free State, generously supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

PIKO is ’n kunsontwikkelingsprogram wat kyk hoe tegnologie, interdissiplinêre en eksperimentele kunste met gemeenskappe kan bind en ’n impak daarop hê. PIKO is in 2014 van stapel gestuur as ’n proefprojek in reaksie op onlangse data wat aandui dat die kreatiewe industrieë in Afrika minder as 1% tot die wêreldproduksie bydra.

PIAD is an arts development program focusing on how technology, interdisciplinary and experimental arts can connect with and impact on communities.

PIKO/PIAD was launched in 2014 as a pilot project in in response to recent data indicating that the creative industries in Africa contribute less than 1% to global output.

Namate groter toegang tot en deelname in kultuur gekoppel kan word aan ’n verbetering in menslike ontwikkeling, fokus PIKO op die ondersteuning van wissel-kulturele, eksperimentele kunsprogramme wat die Suid-Afrikaanse gemeenskap kreatief kan transformeer. Vir dié doel werk PIKO saam met verskeie Suid-Afrikaanse en internasionale kunstenaars om ’n gesamentlike voordelige program van samewerking te ontwikkel.

As increased access to and participation in culture can be linked to an increase in human development, the PIAD focuses on supporting cross-cultural, experimental art programs that can creatively transform South African society. For this process the PIAD is working with several South African and international artists to develop a mutually beneficial program of engagement.

PIKO koester vernuwing in kunsontwikkeling in Suid-Afrika deur die ontwikkeling, aanbieding en bevordering van kunsprojekte, insluitend ’n reeks Eerste Nasies-projekte; kritiese debate en forums; kuns/wetenskapnavorsing en interdissiplinêre kunstenaarsverblyfprogramme; interdissiplinêre kunslaboratoriums vir skeppende praktisyns; die produksie en aanbiedings van uitdagende nuwe werk in die kunste; en kritiese debatte/forums. Vanweë die sukses van die loodsprogram het The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation hom daartoe verbind om PIKO oor die volgende vier jaar te steun deur R7 miljoen aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat te skenk.

PIAD fosters innovation in artform development in South Africa through the development, presentation and promotion of art projects, including a series of First Nations projects; critical debates/forums; arts/science research and interdisciplinary artist residencies; interdisciplinary arts laboratories for creative practitioners; the production and presentation of challenging new work in the arts. As a result of the pilot’s success, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has committed to supporting the PIAD over the next four years with R7milion granted to the University of the Free State.

Vanjaar sal Sylvia Vollenhoven se The keeper of the Kumm op die Vrystaat Literêre Fees bespreek word. “Kumm” is die woord vir storie, geskiedenis, mite, nuus of enigiets vertel in die !Xam(Boesman) taal.

Dr Willy Nel, Faculty of Education and Research Associate of the Institute for Reconciliation and Social Justice, University of the Free State, will work with Lee-Ann Tjunypa Buckskin, Chair of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Committee at the Australia Council for the Arts over the next four years to develop First Nation programs and exchanges. In 2016 Sylvia Vollenhoven’s The Keeper of the Kumm will feature in discussions at the Vrystaat Literature Festival. “Kumm” is the word for story, history, myth, news or anything recounted in the !Xam (Bushman) language.

PIKO-forum: Kulturele volhoubaarheid in omgewings van verandering / PIAD Forum: Cultural Sustainability in Environments of Change Die Vrystaat Kunstefees in samewerking met die Johannes Stegmann-kunsgalery bied dié kunstenaars- en akademiese forum aan, gesteun deur die Nasionale Kunsteraad van Suid-Afrika en die Andrew W. Mellon-stigting.

Die ‘Re-Future’-projek / The Re-Future Project

Lebone Village, 2016. Photo: Anita Venter

Dié projek inisieer ’n reeks interdissiplinêre en interkulturele werke ontwerp vir, en geplaas binne Mangaung. Die fokus is op die kruispunt van volhoubaarheid, gemeenskapsontwikkeling en skeppende aksie. Deur samewerking tussen die Universiteit van die Vrystaat se Sentrum vir Ontwikkelingstudies, Anita Venter se NGO Qala Phelang Tala (QPT/Start Living Green), die Johannes Stegmann-kunsgalery, die Andrew W. Mellon-stigting, die Vlaamse Stigting, QUT Creative Industries en SuidAfrikaanse “agente vir verandering” poog die projek om hervoorstelling van en addisionele perspektiewe op QPT se belangrike gemeenskapsbemagtiging, voetsoolbouprosesse tot stand te bring. Hulle wil dit bereik deur ’n mobiele kunservaring wat help om nuwe netwerke te bou van “re-futuring” in van die armste informele buurte in die Vrystaat.

Re-Future initiates a series of interdisciplinary, intercultural works designed for, and situated within Manguang, focused at the intersection of sustainability, community development and creative action. Working in collaboration with University of the Free State’s Centre for Development Studies, Anita Venter’s NGO Qala Phelang Tala (QPT/Start Living Green!), Johannes Stegmann Art Gallery, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Flanders Foundation, QUT Creative Industries and with South African ‘change agents’, the project seeks to both re-image and also bring additional perspectives to QPT’s significant community-empowering, grassroots ‘post-natural’ building processes. It will achieve this through a mobile art experience that helps build new networks of ‘re-futuring’ throughout some of the poorest informal settlements in the Free State.

Kuns en Opvoeding / Arts Learning Die kunste staan krities teenoor die ontwikkeling van skoliere se eiewaarde, emosionele intelligensie en redenaarsvernuf. Kunsgeletterdheid bied nie net geleenthede vir die kultivering van skakels tussen verskillende kunsgenres nie, maar ook tussen die kunste en ander dissiplines. Die digKUNS-projek neem skoolkinders op ’n reis van verskeie benaderings tot kunsskepping deur leerlinge se voorgeskrewe poësie as grondslag vir ’n vernuwende multi-dissiplinêre kunsontdekking te gebruik. Poësie sal dien as vertrekpunt vir verdere ondersoek, deur verskeie kunsvorms, van verwante Suid-Afrikaanse temas, asook persoonlike en ander bepaalde ervarings.

Die projek word ontwikkel deur dr. Stéphanie Brink, Walter Strydom en Mark Antony Dobson.

Ondersteun, in 2015, deur die ATKV se gefokuste taalen kunste-afdelings

The arts are critical for the development of school students’ self-worth, emotional intelligence and reasoning skills. Art literacy not only provides opportunities for the cultivation of links between different art genres, but also between the arts and other disciplines. The poARTry project takes school children on a journey through various approaches to art creation through utilising the learners’ prescribed poetry – art in their own right – as a basis for an innovative multidisciplinary, artistic exploration.

Poetry will serve as a starting point for a further investigation, through various art forms, of relevant South African themes, as well as individual-personal and more localized experiences. The project is developed by Dr. Stéphanie Brink, Walter Strydom and Mark Antony Dobson. Supported, in 2015, by the ATKV’s focused langauge and arts sections

Anglo-Boereoorlogmuseum / Anglo-Boer War Museum

Krans van Herinnering/ Wreath of Remembrance, Daniella Fischer, 2015

Die museum streef daarna om ‘n instelling van uitnemendheid te wees waardeur die inklusiwiteit en lyding van alle gemeenskappe tydens die AngloBoereoorlog uitgebeeld word, en daarvolgens die boodskap oordra dat onderhandeling beter is as oorlog. Die museum streef daarna om items wat verband hou met die Anglo-Boereoorlog van 18991902 te versamel, te bewaar en uit te stal; navorsing, publikasies en opvoeding te doen oor hierdie tema en in samewerking met ander organisasies, nasionaal en internasionaal, hierdie tema te ontwikkel .

Vision: To be an institution of excellence whereby the inclusivity and suffering of all communities during the Anglo-Boer War are depicted, thus propagating the message that negotiation is preferable to war. We collect, curate and display items relating to the AngloBoer War of 1899-1902; do research, publications and education on this theme and cooperate with other organisations, nationally and internationally, in order to develop this theme.

Boodskappe van borge / Sponsors’ messages Japie Gouws, besturende direkteur ATKV-groep / managing director ATKV Group Suid-Afrika se landsleuse, “!ke e: /xarra //ke”, beteken eenheid in diversiteit.

Ons beleef tye dat eenheid en nasiebou deur politici en gegriefdes misbruik word en die diversiteit van Suid-Afrikaners meestal onder skoot kom.

Die ATKV beskou die diversiteit van tale en kulture as een van SuidAfrika se belangrikste bates en die ideale instrument om nasiebou te bevorder. Dit kan bewerkstellig word indien almal trots is op hul eie herkoms, geskiedenis, tale, kultuur en erfenis, dit met almal deel en ook bereid is om ander s’n te waardeer.

Die Vrystaat Kunstefees se doelwitte ondersteun hierdie visie van die ATKV. Die ATKV is trots om ‘n vennoot van die Vrystaat Kunstefees te wees.

Mag die 2016 fees ‘n fees wees!

South Africa’s slogan, “!ke e: /xarra //ke”, means unity in diversity.

We are experiencing a time where unity and nation building are abused by politicians and diverse communities targeted in South Africa.

The ATKV considers diversity of languages and cultures as one of South Africa’s greatest assets and the ideal instrument to promote nation building. It can be achieved providing everyone is proud of their heritage, history, language, culture and legacy; everyone is willing to share it and prepared to appreciate those of others.

The aims of the Vrystaat Arts Festival supports this vision of the ATKV. The ATKV is proud to be a partner of the Vrystaat Arts Festival.

May the 2016 festival be a feast!

Theuns Eloff, voorsitter, Dagbreek Trust/Chairman, Dagbreek Trust Dagbreek Trust is ten volle bewus van die ontsaglike druk waaronder Afrikaanse kunstefeeste verkeer. Dit verg fyn strategie en slim programbeplanning om ’n fees jaar na jaar volhoubaar aan te bied.

Om boonop ’n program aan te bied wat die smaak van jou getroue feesbywoners tevrede stel, terwyl dit ook nuwe inhoud vir ’n groeiende gehoor aanbied, is nie maklik nie. Maar Ricardo Peach en sy span beïndruk vanjaar weer met ’n programaanbod wat ver oor plaaslike grense strek en ’n verskeidenheid taal- en kultuurgroepe betrek. Dit is ’n funksie van kunstefeeste om relevante diskoerse aan te wakker, en ook hiermee bly Vrystaat Kunstefees vanjaar internasionaal relevant.

Wat teater betref, het Dagbreek Trust sowat ’n jaar gelede ’n inisiatief van stapel gestuur om die volhoubaarheid van Afrikaanse inhoud te verseker. So is die Nasionale Afrikaanse Teaterinisiatief (NATi) gebore, met Tim du Plessis as voorsitter en Cornelia Faasen as uitvoerende hoof. Die hoofdoel van NATi is om in oorleg met die feesteforum (saamgestel uit die vernaamste Afrikaanse produserende feeste) minstens vier Afrikaanse produksies per jaar op soveel moontlik Afrikaanse kunstefeeste te laat speel, terwyl dit ook op ander relevante platforms aangebied word. Ons hoop dat NATi in die toekoms ’n groot bydrae tot die Afrikaanse teateraanbod in Suid-Afrika sal maak.

Dagbreek Trust is fully aware of the extreme pressure under which Afrikaans festivals operate. Fine strategy and clever programming are imperative to present a sustainable festival year after year. It is not easy to compile a program that will satisfy your loyal festival-goer while also offering new content for a growing audience. But Ricardo Peach and his team impress again this year with a program that stretches far beyond local borders and involve a variety of languages and culture groups. It is a function of arts festivals to encourage relevant discourse and this year the Vrystaat Arts Festival is internationally relevant.

Regarding theatre, Dagbreek Trust launched an initiative a year ago to ensure the sustainability of Afrikaans content. So the National Afrikaans Theatre Initiative (NATi) was born with Tim du Plessis as chair and Cornelia Faasen as chief executive. The main aim of NATi, in consultation with the festival forum (comprising the most important Afrikaans producing festivals), is to have at least four Afrikaans productions at as many Afrikaans arts festivals as possible, while also presenting on other relevant platforms. We hope that NATi will contribute hugely towards Afrikaans theatre in South Africa.

Karen Meiring, MNet direkteur: Afrikaanse kanale / Mnet Director, Afrikaans channels Dis 2016 en kykNET beleef in Afrikaans ’n besondere groot jaar. Nie net is kykNET nou ’n wêreldburger nie met meer as 10 000 ure se Afrikaanse programinhoud op kykNET Internasionaal nie, wat strek oor verskeie vastelande, van Kanada, Amerika en Australië tot Nieu-Seeland en die Verenigde Koninkryk, en gevestig op ShowMax.com, maar ons het ook twee splinternuwe seepstories, Suidooster en Getroud met Rugby op lug. Dit het ’n reuse-impak op die vermaakbedryf deur die skep van verskeie volhoubare werksgeleenthede vir Afrikaanse skrywers, akteurs, regisseurs en tegnici in Johannesburg en vir die eerste keer ook in die Kaap.

It is 2016 and kykNET is experiencing an exceptional year in Afrikaans.

Not only is kykNET now a citizen of the world with more than 10 000 hours of Afrikaans program content available on kykNET Internasionaal which reaches across various continents, from Canada, America and Australia to New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and seated in ShowMax.com, but we also have two brand new soapies, Suidooster and Getroud met rugby. It has a gigantic impact on the entertainment industry in the creation of sustainable job opportunities for Afrikaans writers, actors, directors and technicians in Johannesburg and for the first time also in Cape Town.

kykNET bly uiters lojaal en ondersteun graag die kunste op alle vlakke, maar veral deur middel van al die hoofsaaklik Afrikaanse kunste, musiek en leefstylfeeste in die verskillende streke van die land. Ons vier graag alle vorme van Afrikaans, waar en hoe ookal dit gepraat word, of dit nou kombuis-, sitkamer- of studeerkamer-Afrikaans is, ons is daar!

kykNET remains loyal to and enjoys supporting the arts on all levels, but especially by means of mainly Afrikaans arts, music and life style festivals in the various areas of the country. We celebrate all forms of Afrikaans, where and however it is spoken, whether it is kitchen, lounge or studyroom Afrikaans, we are there!

kykNET se paaie kruis met onder meer die vervaardigende kunstefeeste sedert die kanaal se ontstaan. Dit lei ons na Afrikaanse talent van formaat en die ontginning daarvan, uit ’n gehaltebron van veral jong mense. Dit gee ons ook die geleentheid om jaarliks ons bestes in die teaterbedryf by die Fiëstas te vereer, nou reeds in die sesde jaar.

Afrikaans staan weer voor talle uitdagings. As rolspelers gaan ons moet uithaal en wys dat Afrikaans buitengewone unieke geleenthede bied en dat ons ryk kulturele erfenis die boedel werd is.

Vir eers is ons opgewonde oor ons besoek aan die Vrystaat Kunstefees en ons sien uit om Suid-Afrikaans wees saam met elkeen van julle te vier.

Since the channel’s beginnings kykNET has been crossing paths with creative festivals. It leads us to valuable Afrikaans talent and the development of especially young people. This gives us the opportunity to honour the best in the theatre industry with the Fiëstas, now already in its sixth year.

Afrikaans is again facing many challenges. As role players we will have to prove that Afrikaans offers exceptional and unique opportunities and that our rich cultural heritage is worth the legacy.

But for now we are excited about our visit to the Vrystaat Arts Festival and we are looking forward to celebrate South Afrikaans with all of you.

Esmaré Weideman, uitvoerende hoof, Media24 / chief executive, Media24 Die Vrystaat Kunstefees – met al die verskillende baadjies wat hy al gedra het – was nog altyd ’n hoogtepunt op die kuns- en vermaakkalender, en ek is seker dat vanjaar groter en beter as tevore gaan wees. Die kunste lê ons na aan die hart en daarom is Media24 ’n trotse borg van die Vrystaat se grootste kunstefees.

The Vrystaat Arts Festival – in its various jackets through the years – has always been a highlight on the arts and entertainment calender, and I am sure this year will be bigger and better than ever.The arts are close to our hearts and that is why Media24 is a proud sponsor of the Free State’s biggest arts festival.

Ons maatskappy is meer as 100 jaar gelede gestig met die publikasie van die bekroonde en geliefde Die Burger. Vandag dien ons ons lojale Afrikaanse gehoor met gesaghebbende produkte wat in hulle taal praat – van Netwerk24 en Son, tot Kuier en SARIE, Huisgenoot en Rapport. En VIA, ons nuwe TV-kanaal spesiaal vir ons Afrikaanse gehoor, bied vars, plaaslike inhoud. Huisgenoot, die grootste tydskrif in die land, word ook vanjaar 100 en vier ’n eeu van nuus, scoops, glans en raad.

Our company was formed more than a 100 years ago with the publication of the awarded and beloved Die Burger. Today we serve our loyal Afrikaans audience with authoritative products that communicate in their language – from Network24 and Son to Kuier and SARIE, Huisgenoot and Rapport. And VIA, our new TV channel especially for our Afrikaans audience, presents fresh, local content.

Huisgenoot, the biggest magazine in the country, also turns 100 this year and celebrates a century of news, scoops, glamour and advice.

Vanjaar se fees bied iets vir almal met teater, musiek, dans, boekfeeste, visuele kunste en vele meer. Die fees het oor die jare in ’n trots- Suid-Afrikaanse gebeurtenis ontpop en stel elke jaar nuwe talent aan gehore voor. Wees ook op die uitkyk vir internasionale kunstenaars wat ook ’n feesdraai maak. ’n Span van ons geliefde Volksblad sal feesgangers op die hoogte hou met die feeskoerant Stronk.

This year’s festival presents something for everybody with theatre, music, dance, bookfestivals, visual arts and many more. Over the years the festival has blossomed into a proudly South African happening and presents new talent to audiences every year. Be on the look-out for international artists who will also appear at the festival. A team of our beloved Volksblad will keep festival goers informed by means of the festival daily Stronk.

Namens Media24, hartlik welkom by vanjaar se Vrystaat Kunstefees.

Dit mag dalk winter wees in die Rosestad maar dié fees gaan julle beslis warm hou. Mag dit skoene-uitskop-lekker wees!

On behalf of Media24 a hearty welcome to this year’s Vrystaat Arts Festival. It may be winter in the City of Roses but this festival will definitely keep you warm. Kick off your shoes and get cozy!
