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.

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.

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.

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.

deur ’n aantal inisiatiewe wat grootliks
deur die Instituut vir Versoening en Sosiale

in verskeie aanbiedinge op die fees.
Soos in die verlede, het Kovsies weer ’n
paar veranderinge op die Bloemfonteinkampus aangebring. Verskeie geboue met
’n verskeidenheid lesingsale, laboratoriums
en kantoorruimtes en toegerus met die
nuutste tegnologie, is gebou en ander is
opgeknap om aan die steeds groeiende
behoeftes van personeel en studente te
voldoen. Gaan kyk gerus na die nuwe
Genetika-gebou met sy unieke chemiese
afvalsorterings- en bergingsgeriewe; ’n
eerste vir die universiteit. U is ook welkom
om die uitbreidings aan die Biotegnologiegebou te besigtig, wat vier nuwe
navorsingslaboratoriums, ’n lesingsaal vir
70 studente en laboratoriums met plek vir
56 nagraadse studente insluit. Dan is daar
ook die nuwe Fisika-gebou met sy unieke
teleskoop.
Besoek gerus die Besoekersentrum by
die toegangshek in DF Malherberylaan
vir inligting oor die kampus. Wees ook op
die uitkyk vir die stalletjie van KovsieGear,

hul onmiddellike omgewing kreatief kan hervorm.
Twee weke lank word met 35 studente en ontluikende

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

Verskeie kunstenaars/Various artists
11 – 16 Jul, enige tyd/any time
VRY-wees is ’n toonkas van goeie kuns op openbare
plekke. Maak nie saak of dit dans, sang, poësie of
modelwerk is nie, solank dit goed genoeg is om ’n
ambiance te skep, ’n gehoor vas te vang en feesgangers
enige tyd op enige manier op enige dag te verras.
VRY-wees is a showcase of good art in public spaces.
Whether it be dancing, singing, poetry or modelling
does not really matter as long as it is good enough to
capture an audience and create a vibe surprising the
festival goer anytime, anyway at any day.
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.

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

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

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.
’n Kort, woordlose vertoning wat draai om die lewe,
terwyl dié versorg word wat sterwend is. Terwyl dit die
emosies van verantwoordelikheid, stres, hartseer en
uiteindelik vreugde ondersoek, is dié kort stuk ’n viering van die lewe en die verhouding wat ons het met die
mense wat ons liefhet.
A short, wordless performance piece that centres around
living, while caring for those who are dying. Exploring
the emotions of responsibility, stress, sadness, grief,
and ultimately joy, this short piece is a celebration of
life and the relationships we have with those we love.

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.
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.
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

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

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.

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.

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.

PAP, The Emily Hobhouse Letters Project
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.
SAAM MET DIE ATKV BY
DIE VRYSTAAT KUNSTEFEES:
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.
ONS IS BY DIE ATKV-EEUFEESGEBOU.
Daar is ’n fees van boeke beskikbaar - van kinderboeke en
resepteboeke tot bekroonde literatuur. Dit is ’n eenstopboekwinkel vir boekliefhebbers van alle ouderdomme.
Die Vrystaat Literatuurfees word vanjaar vir die eerste keer as deel van die fees
aangebied. Dié omvattende program sluit die name van internasionaal bekroonde
skrywers soos Chika Unigwe, Zakes Mda, Kader Abdolah, Jacob Dlamini en Wilfried
N’Sondé in en ook bekende en geliefde plaaslike skrywers in soos onder andere
Adam Small, Bernard Odendaal, Irma Joubert, Marita van der Vyver, Rudie van
Rensburg, Hans du Plessis en Sophia Kapp.
Daar is ook ’n verskeidenheid paneelbesprekings om na uit te sien, wat handel oor ’n
wye reeks onderwerpe – van kinderstories, misdaadverhale, tot die liefde. Kom skop
jou fees-oggende af saam met die bekende televisie-joernalis, Ruda Landman, wat die
gespreksleier is van robuuste diskoerse. Hier word gepraat oor Afrika se ekonomiese
vooruitsigte, die invloed van klimaatsverandering tot die plaaslike verkiesings.
Die poësiekafee, ook by die ATKV-Eeufeesgebou, huisves musiek en digkuns; kos en
storievertellers; woord- en musiekproduksies en gesprekke met gewilde reisskrywers.
DIE VOLLEDIGE PROGRAM IS IN DIE FEESGIDS BESKIKBAAR.
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.
Ons koffiewinkel by die ATKV-Eeufeesgebou is die ideale saamkuier-geleentheid vir
skrywers en hul lesers.

Die beste vertoning wat ek op die Woordfees gesien het.
Ek het van die begin af gelag en gehuil. Dis die reaksie
van gehoorlede ná die stuk se opening. Sewe unieke
talentvolle mense is gekeur vir die ATKV-liedjieslypskool.
Hulle is toe meer as net liedjieskrywers; hulle is
talentvolle sangers en elkeen het ’n beeldskone storie
en so is hul stories en liedjies vervleg tot ’n snaakse,
roerende en opruiende musiekteaterproduksie wat met
elke vertoning deur juigende gehore verwelkom word.
Vertel my jou storie, sing my jou song, en dalk sal ons
mekaar beter verstaan.
The best show I have seen at the Woordfees. I laughed
and cried right from the start. Some reaction from the
audience after the opening. Seven unique, talented
people are chosen for the ATKV Song Workshop. They
turned out to be more than mere songwriters; they are
talented singers and each one has a beautiful story.
These stories and songs were reworked into a funny,
moving and riotous music theatre production that is
welcomed by cheering audiences at every show. Tell
me your story, sing me your song, and maybe we will
understand each other better.

Met high heels en lipstick is ’n nuutgeskrewe kabaret uit
die pen van Isabel Mostert met konseptualisering deur
Michelle Hetzel. Dit vertel, bevraagteken en kritiseer
die probleme wat (meestal) vroue deesdae in die gesig
staar en hoe hulle dit hanteer. Probleme soos geweld
in die huis, gewigsprobleme, drankmisbruik en vele
ander word op ’n skerp humoristiese, dog simpatieke
manier aangespreek, met ’n bemoediging vir vroue:
Met lipstick en high heels word elke dag ’n lekkerte!
A brand new cabaret written by Isabel Mostert
and conceptualised by Michelle Hetzel. It narrates,
questions and criticises the problems (most) women
face nowadays and how they handle it. Problems like
domestic abuse, weight issues, alcohol abuse and many
others are touched on in a humoristic, yet sympathetic
way, with some encouragement for women: With
lipstick and high heels every day becomes a joyous
occasion!

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. In ’n ontdekking van die verlede, die hede en die
toekoms lê ’n buitengewone reis oor wat ons uniek maak
en wat ons saambind. Die projek is ’n interdissiplinêre
vertoning, ’n spanpoging tussen die UV, die Vrystaat
Kunstefees en PIKO. Ondersteun deur UV Studentesake
en die Koninkrijk der Nederlanden.
Who are we as individuals, in groups, as seen by
others, and what then are our identities? What are the
DENTS in our society as well as in ourselves? 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

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 bekroonde opvoering van Tony Jackman se
toneelstuk met Crofford in haar Fleur du Cap-benoemde
rolle as Emily Hobhouse, die Britse kampvegter teen
gruweldade in konsentrasiekampe in die AngloBoereoorlog, en Tant Alie, ’n kampbewoner. 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.

sy boesemvriend Jaco wat hom altyd geestelik en

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

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

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.

$$
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

“Tienduisend ton koolstofdioksied. Die gewig van die
Eiffeltoring. Ek gaan geboorte skenk aan die Eiffeltoring!”.
So sê vrou in Longe nadat die standaard-kind se
koolstofvoetspoor bereken is. Om te bestaan behels ’n
reeks kernkragoomblikke, meestal vlietend. Plofbaar. In
Longe ontvou ’n paartjie se gesprek skouspelagtig van
die voortbring van kinders tot die geweldige besef van
’n universele verantwoordelikheid: die aarde.
“Ten thousand tons of carbon dioxide. The weight of
the Eiffel Tower. I am going to give birth to the Eiffel
Tower!”. So says woman in Longe after the standard
child’s carbon dioxide footprint was calculated. To
exist requires a series of atomic power moments,
mostly fleeting. In Longe a couple’s discussion about
having children develops spectacularly to the massive
realisation of a universal responsibility: the earth.

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.

wonder: Is hy sy? Is sy hy? Vandag word die suster se graf
oopgemaak. Wat oor is van haar gaan aan die lig kom, saam
met geheime wat haar familie 40 jaar lank begrawe het.
Marília handel oor die dood van ’n sibbe, geslagsverwarring,
immigrasie en om lewensprobleme te oorkom. ’n Ware
verhaal van oorlewing van tragedie, florerend ondanks
struikelblokke en van sterker anderkant uitkom; beslag lê

Brazil, Carnival: A sister is dead. Her younger brother keeps
wondering, is he she? Is she he? Today, the sister’s grave
will be opened. What remains of her will come to light,
along with secrets her family has kept buried for forty
years. Dealing with the death of a sibling, gender confusion,
immigration and overcoming life obstacles, Marília reveals
an extraordinary journey of self understanding, acceptance
and love. A real-life story of surviving tragedy, thriving
despite incredible obstacles, and coming out stronger on
the other side; claiming one’s voice, one’s life, and one’s

Die stuk handel oor die aand voordat André P. Brink sy

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

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

aanwyser. Hy beplan sy braaie, sy gesin, sy seks, sy

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

Gert Struwig is a real caveman. Definitely not a

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?”

Dit wás bietjie vreemd die dag toe Manie terugkeer
van sy saketrippie en hy begin sy tas in- en nie uitpak
nie. 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.
Hennie van Greunen
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.
From the people who brought you Lyf, Die naaimasjien
and Shirley Valentyn comes Geraldine Aron’s global
hit comedy.

Twee knorrige ooms beland tot hul spyt saam in ’n
ouetehuis, eintlik ’n soort verbeteringskool vir skatryk
oues wat lastig geword het of uit ander instansies
geskors is. Die tehuis is omhein soos ’n tronk met
wagte en selfs honde. Al hoe jy hier uitkom, is in ’n
doodskis. Die ooms stamp uit die staanspoor kop, maar
besef gou dis eerder “ons teen die kinders!” Dié ooms
sal nét mandjies vleg en tolletjiebrei as dit deel uitmaak
van ’n indrukwekkende ontsnappingsplan! 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.

Andries Anders wil die wêreld se bekendste seerower
word, maar verpes dit om te steel. Hy verkies om
die dorpsmense te help, te meer omdat hulle almal
vertel hulle is deur die wonderlike-afsonderlikebelowende-berowende-skrikwekkende-bebekkenderowwe-lowwe-liewe-lawwe Andries Anders “beroof”.
Ongelukkig is Kaptein Walrus nie versot op die idee nie

Harde eiers? Sagte eiers? Warm melk of koue melk?
Wit brood of bruin brood? To be or not to be? Was
Shakespeare dan ook ’n waiter? In hierdie bekkige
toneelstuk steek Fourie die draak met kliënte wat sy
die afgelope jaar as kelnerin bedien het. Daar word
geskinder, geklets, gekloek en natuurlik gekoek en tee
tot jy skaterlag. ’n Indringende kykie van wat agter die
skerms...of sal ‘n mens liewer sê skinkborde gebeur! ’n
Dag in die lewe van ’n kelner is alles behalwe koek en
konfyt!
Hard eggs? Soft eggs? Hot milk or cold milk? White bread
or brown bread? To be or not to be? Was Shakespeare
then also a waiter? In this witty play Fourie takes the
mickey out of clients whom she served as waitress the
past year. There will be gossiping, chatting, gurgling
over some tea and cake till you cry with laughter. An
indepth look at what happens behind closed doors . . .
or should it rather be behind trays! A day in the life of a
waiter is everything but cake and confetti!

‘n Paar klassieke dramas word behoorlik deurmekaargeklits met ‘n stewige skeut galgehumor. Dié
twee susters het nie ‘n deugdelike woord of ‘n knippie
liefde vir mekaar oor nie. Kleinsus is haar lewe lank
afgeknou en vier vannag haar geboortedag met die
moordlustigste planne en poëtiese vryheid. Die vonke,
voete, vuiste, morfien en arseen spat behoorlik soos
die twee mekaar skaamteloos in die rug probeer steek!
Hierdie is mos nou Afrikaans in haar nuwe rok . . .
vreesloos, uitdagend en heerlik ondeund!
A few classical dramas are properly stirred together
with a liberal dash of black humour added. These two
sisters definitely don’t see eye to eye. The younger
has been bullied her whole life and tonight she is
celebrating her birthday with murderous intent and
poetic freedom. It’s sparks, feet, fists, morphine and
arsenic all the way as the two shamelessly try to stab
each other in the back! Now this is Afrikaans in her new
dress . . . fearless, challenging en terribly naughty.
Lollos het sy lag verloor. Ewe skielik wil sy vlerkies
nie meer klap sodat hy kan vlieg nie, nie eers
as die kindertjies lag nie! Dit maak Lollos baie
mismoedig. Lettie en Disco moet gou ’n plan beraam
om weer Lollos se lag terug te kry. Hulle vra Karla om ’n
kompetisie te hou om iemand te vind wat weer Lollos
se lagsnare sal kan kielie. 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.

In ’n wêreld soos vandag is dit nodig vir mans om ’n kursus by te woon om

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.

‘n Huldeblyk aan die ontslape skrywer Chris Barnard.
Katinka het die storie by Dalene Matthee gekry, maar
dit wou net nie koers kry nie, totdat Chris, haar man,
oorneem en met ‘n knap, bekoorlike draaiboek vorendag
gekom het wat gehelp het om die fliek klassiek te maak.
Die verhaal van een vrou se stryd om haarself te bevry
van haar verlede en hoe dit die vissersgemeenskap
raak waar sy bly.
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.
She builds her house behind a huge sand dune. But
one day she receives news that makes her start carting
away the dune, bucket load by bucket load.
In hierdie gulhartige portret van die Franse hawestad
wat die rolprent sy naam gee, laat die noodlot die jong
Afrika-vlugteling Idrissa se pad met dié van Marcel
Marx kruis, ’n bekkige boheem wat as skoenpoetser
werk. 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.

Geïnspireer deur ’n ware verhaal. Maria wy al haar
aandag en sorg aan die welsyn van haar gesin, maar
ten koste van haar eie identiteit en selfbewussyn. 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.

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.
Verenigde Koninkryk/United Kingdom

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.
Die verhaal van ’n Kambodjaans-Chinese ma wat rou
oor die ontydige dood van haar seun, speel in eietydse
Londen af. Haar wêreld word skielik versteur deur ’n
vreemdeling. Hoewel hulle mekaar nie verstaan nie,
help ’n tolk om hul herinneringe te koppel aan ’n man
vir wie hulle albei lief was. ‘n Ontroerende ervaring oor
die onwaarskynlike bande en die tragedies wat ons
bind hoewel ons wêrelde van mekaar verwyder mag
wees.
Set in contemporary London, Lilting tells the story of
a Cambodian-Chinese mother mourning the untimely
death of her son. Her world is suddenly disrupted by
the presence of a stranger. Though they don’t share a
common language, a translator helps piece together
the memories of a man they both loved. A touching film
about unlikely connections and the tragedies that bring
us together even though we may be worlds apart.

Huldeblyk aan William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616): Ter

se uitbundige, pittige en baie filmiese weergawe aan.
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

A tribute to William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616): In
celebration of a life’s work and a 400 year legacy we
present Branagh’s boisterous, witty and very filmic
version. Young lovers Hero and Claudio are to be
married in one week. 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”.
’n Tipiese gesin is op die rand van ineenstorting in dié
donker drama. ’n Sakeman verloor sy werk, maar sy
“gelukkige” gesin weet nie daarvan nie. Elke oggend
gaan hy “kantoor” toe. Eendag sien sy vrou hom
in die tou by ’n sopkombuis, maar sy is te bang om
hom te konfronteer. Die seuns begin wegdryf van hul
emosioneel verwyderde ouers en die jonger een, Kenji,
gebruik sy kosgeld vir skool vir musieklesse in die hoop
op ’n loopbaan as pianis. Dit is in 2008 op die Cannesfilmfees vertoon.
A typical household secretly teeters on the verge of
collapse in this stark drama. A businessman lost his
job but his seemingly happy family doesn’t know. He
leaves home every morning as if going to the office.
One day his wife spots her husband in a soup line,
though she doesn’t dare confront him. As the boys
begin drifting away from their emotionally distant
parents, the younger one, Kenji, begins spending his
lunch money on music lessons in hopes of starting a
career as a pianist. An official entry at the 2008 Cannes
Film Festival.

’n Intense, emosionele meesterstuk van die Koreaanse
“New Wave”. Die verhaal van ’n gedoemde jong man
word oor 20 jaar vertel, maar agteruit – dus van sy
selfmoord tot sy jeugjare op soek na wat gebeur het
dat hy ‘n einde aan sy lewe wil maak. Terselfdertyd is
dit ‘n kroniek van die sentimente en veranderings in
moderne Suid-Korea. Twee jaar gelede was Lee se
ontroerende Poetry op die fees te sien.
An intense, emotional masterpiece of Korean New
Wave, Peppermint Candy is told in reverse, taking the
viewers back through 20 years of a doomed man’s
life, while chronicling the sentiments and changes of
modern Korea. A couple of years ago Lee’s Poetry was
a hit at this festival.
Ná die dood van Jacobo se ma het hy net sy nederige
sokkiefabriek oor en dié is op die rand van bankrotskap.
Wanneer sy wedywerige broer Herman kom kuier, kry
Jacobo sy medewerker Marta om voor te gee sy is sy
vrou. Dié humoristiese verhaal van ’n middeljarige
man se pogings om nie teen sy broer af te steek nie, is
suiwer genot. ’n Ware lag met ’n traan.
After Jacobo’s mother dies, he is left with only his
humble sock factory that is about to go out of business.
When his competitive brother Herman comes to visit,
Jacobo enlists his co-worker Marta to pretend to be his
wife. This humorous tale about a middle-aged man’s
efforts to not loose face, is pure delight.

Sit terug vir ’n goedig-getemperde verhaal in volksaard
wat vertel van die eenvoudige mense in ‘n klein statjie.
’n Lewendige, humoristiese rolprent met die bejaarde
Sogo as held – hy het ’n meul vir sy mense gekoop in
die hoop dat sy oorlogspensioen gaan opdaag. Hy het
in die Eerste en Tweede Wêreldoorlog vir die Franse
weermag geveg. As hy weer weg gewys word, besluit
hy dis tyd vir oorlog.
Settle back into a sweet-tempered, folkloric mode,
spinning tales of simple village life full of simple village
people. A lively, humourous tale with the aging Sogo
as hero – he had fought in the French army in WWI and
WWII, and is still battling to get his war pension out of
the French government. The mill he buys on credit for
his village’s women folk is the spark that sets off a new
war for him.

Willem Boshoff is ’n konsepsuele kunstenaar van internasionale faam. Vir meer
as dertig jaar boei sy sosiale, politieke en omgewingskontekste in evokatiewe
gemengde media-kunswerke, installasies en lewende kuns. 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

Willem Boshoff-argief
$$
Gratis / Free
Die bekroonde kunstenaar en intellektuele
figuur Willem Boshoff het sy omvattende
persoonlike digitale argief aan die
Universiteit van die Vrystaat geskenk.
Die argief is die bron van sy kunsuitset
en die produk van baie jare se intens
gedissiplineerde en wydlopende navorsing
en dokumentasie in drie hoofareas – botanie,
taal en musiek. In gesprek met ’n aantal
geleerdes, gelei deur Dr. Francis Halsall van
die National College of Art & Design, Dublin,
Ierland, word die speelse, onderhoudende,
kunstige en sensoriese prosesse wat
betrokke is by die totstandkoming en
aanbieding van die argief ontrafel as deel
van ’n verskeidenheid gekonnekteerde
netwerke en sisteme. ​
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.

The celebrated artist and intellectual Willem
Boshoff has donated his comprehensive
personal digital archive to the University of
the Free State. The archive is the source of
his artistic output and the product of many
years of intensely disciplined and wideranging research and documentation in
three main areas – botany, language and
music. In a conversation with a number of
scholars, led by Dr. Francis Halsall from the
National College of Art & Design, Dublin,
Ireland, the playful, informative, artistic
and sensory processes involved in the
production and performance of the archive
will be unravelled as part of a range of
interconnected networks and systems.

Elrie Joubert is ’n Bloemfonteinse visuele kunstenaar
en versamelaar van miniatuur- natuurlike objekte. ’n
Belangstelling in die handeling van versamel as ’n
proses en die versamelaar se vermoë om die alledaagse
in iets kosbaars te verander, vorm die basis van haar
konsepsuele werk. In hierdie uitstalling fokus sy op die
spore van die geheue en die bewaring daarvan: “Vir dié
uitstalling het ek inspirasie gevind uit my persoonlike
versameling gekoppel aan my oupa se seëlversameling
wat ek geërf het.”

Elrie Joubert is a Bloemfontein-based visual artist and
collector of miniature natural objects. An interest in
the act of collecting as a process and the collector’s
tendency to turn the unexceptional into something
precious, form the basis of her conceptual work. In
this exhibition she focuses on traces of memory and
the preservation thereof: ‘For this exhibition I found
inspiration from my personal collection linked with my
grandfather’s stamp collection, which I inherited.’

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,

It is a great privelege for me to be
part of this very first literary festival
and want to thank all sponsors –

rather investing in a new platform
for writers and books.

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.
Perspektief en Profiel
Ds. Johannes van die Kolonie, Hans du Plessis se
hoofkarakter in sy nuwe roman, Tussen die klippe, word
in 1851 deur die Sinodale Kommissie gestuur om ’n saak
van kerklike tug aan te hoor. 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.

From crime fiction and erotic psychological thrillers
to popular detective stories – Afrikaans literature is
exploding with crime novels. How do the various subgenres work? Do our authors dig into the South African
reality and the horrors read in the newspapers to create
their stories? How do our crime novels compare with
those of other countries? Carla van der Spuy (Bloed

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

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.
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.
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

Met dié lesing word die nalatenskap
van Solomon Tshekisho (Sol) Plaatje
(9 Oktober 1876 – 19 Junie 1932)
herdenk. 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.
Mda studeer en werk in Suid-Afrika,
Lesotho, Brittanje en Amerika.
Hy is die skrywer van verskeie
hoogaangeskrewe
toneelstukke,
romans, gedigte en artikels vir
akademiese publikasies. Sy kreatiewe
werke sluit verder in skilderwerk,
asook teater- en rolprentproduksies.
Mda woon en werk in Ohio en sy
nuutste boek, Little Suns, is vanjaar
uitgereik.
This lecture will pay tribute to the
legacy of Solomon Tshekisho (Sol)
Plaatje (9 October 1876 – 19 June
1932). Born in Boshof this Free Stater
was a first rate linguist who could,
besides his mother tongue, Tswana,
also speak English, Afrikaans, Dutch,
French, German, Sotho, Zulu and
Xhosa. He translated some works
by black writers into European
languages, and English works, like
those of Shakespeare, into Tswana.
Zakes Mda, who will deliver the
first lecture, was born in the Eastern
Cape in 1948 after which he grew up
in Soweto. He later joined his father
who was an exile in Lesotho. Here
he completed his schooling. Mda
studied and worked in South Africa,
Lesotho, Britain and America. He is
the author of various highly-regarded
stage plays, novels, poems and
articles for academic publications.
His creative works include painting as
well as theatre and film productions.
Mda lives and works in Ohio and his
latest book, Little Suns, was released
this year.

letterkunde? Hoe reageer ek as skrywer op die SuidAfrikaanse werklikheid? Of meer nog: hoe kom Afrika

hierdie kontinent, maar wat nou elders woon? Wat vra
Afrika van my as skrywer en hoe reageer ek hierop?
How is Africa represented in the South African

Daar word dikwels na Suid-Afrikaanse jong mense
wat ná 1994 gebore is, verwys as die “vrygeborenes”.
Maar hoe vry is ons jong mense werklik? Is daar hoop
op ’n beter toekoms vir ons kinders in dié land en hoe
bekommerd moet ons wees oor wat byvoorbeeld
aangaan op kampusse? Luister ons na die jong mense?
Melanie Verwoerd en Sonwabiso Ngcowa (21 at 21: The
coming of age of a nation), gesels saam met ander oor
hoe die jeug werklik voel en moontlike oplossings.
Young South Africans born after 1994 are often referred
to as “born free’s”. But how free are our youth really?
Is there hope for a better future for our children in this
country and how worried should we be about what
is happening on our campuses, for example? Do we
listen to the youth? Melanie Verwoerd and Sonwabiso
Ngcowa (21 at 21: The coming of age of a nation) talk
about how the youth really feel and what could be
possible solutions.
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.

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).
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.

Ná die verbrokkeling van sy verhouding vestig die
kunstenaar Niek Steyn hom in Kaapstad. Wanneer
een van Marthinus Scheepers se varke in Niek se tuin
beland, raak hulle bevriend. 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. Van Coller gesels met haar hieroor, maar ook
oor haar skrywerskap in die algemeen.
14 Jul, 16:00
After breaking off a relationship Niek Steyn relocates
to Cape Town. He becomes friends with Marthinus
Scheepers when one of his pigs lands up in Niek’s
garden. Charelle Koopman, Niek’s boarder, disappears
one day, and a well-off artist makes a dubious offer
on Niek’s house. In Stellenbosch a woman writes a
monograph about the art of the Olivier brothers, and
becomes witness to a murder. Then a hollow-cheeked
man approaches her with a strange proposition. This
is the content of the much-lauded Ingrid Winterbach’s
new novel, Vlakwater. Van Coller talks to her about it,
but also her authorship in general.

“coloured” onderdruk. Daarna word sy deel van die

niks van haar geskiedenis nie. Toe, nadat sy ernstig siek
raak, begin sy om haar Khoisan-agtergrond op te diep

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

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.

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?

Die poësie by die Vrystaat Literatuurfees kulmineer
met dié aand van woordakrobatika en plofbare
verbeeldings. Kom kyk hoe van die land se beste
woordsmede die skeure van jou verstand met woorde
vul. Met Makhafula Vilakazi, Rimestein, Koleka
Putuma, Pieter Odendaal, Thabiso Nkoana en Vangi
Gantsho. Die gasheer is Adrian “Diff” van Wyk. Oop
mikrofooninskrywings die aand.
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?
Dié gewilde kulinêre ontbytprogram is ’n instelling by die
fees. Feesgangers het die geleentheid om puik kos en wyn
te geniet, te luister na musiek van hoë gehalte en boonop
’n spesiale skrywer van nader te leer ken. Vanjaar is die
gasskrywer die alombekende Marita van der Vyver wat self
’n kenner van kos-en-wyn is. Haar gewilde boek, Dis koue
kos, skat, is pas verwerk tot ’n rolprent wat vanjaar landwyd
in teaters draai. Sien uit na ’n onderhoud met die skrywer,
’n voorlesing uit dele van haar werke, musiek, Steenbergwynlandgoed se voorste wyne, asook die bekende sjef Suné
Niemand van Upper Crust se uitsoek-geregte. Ondersteun
deur Van Rensburg-patoloë
16 Jul, 08:30
This popular culinary breakfast happening is an institution
at the festival. Festival-goers get the chance to enjoy
excellent food and wine, listen to good music and get to
know a special writer up close. The guest writer this year is
the well-known Marita van der Vyver who is a connoisseur
of food and wine herself. Her popular book Dis koue kos,
skat has recently been filmed and will be released this year.
Look forward to an interview with the author, a reading
from some of her works, music, Steenberg Wine Estate’s
best wines, as well as delectable dishes by chef Suné
Niemand (Upper Crust).

Sophia Kapp (Oorlewingsgids vir ’n bedonnerde diva)
en Santie van der Merwe (Anderkant vergeet) skryf vir
vroue, en oor die liefde, oor alle aspekte daarvan: die
opwinding en die seer; die maklik en die swaar; die lig
en die donker. Hul heldinne is vroue wat verstaan dat
verhoudings nooit maklik of eenvoudig is nie en dat die
lewe soms meer uit ’n vrou tap as wat sy het om te gee.
Sophia Kapp (Oorlewingsgids vir ’n bedonnerde
diva) en Santie van der Merwe (Anderkant vergeet)
write for women, and about love, all aspects of it: the
excitement and the hurt; the easy and the difficult;
the light and the dark. Their heroines are women who
realise that relations are never easy or simple and
that life sometimes requires more from a woman than
she can give.

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.

Individualiteit teen kollektivisme. 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.
Raymond Taylor
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.

Adam sluk swaar aan die lewe se moer. Terwyl hy jou
meevoer met Jane se Dinsdagaandkuiertjies, lei hy
jou af in ’n donker skag waar hy jou pols stadig lig tot
’n oomblik van angs en jou uiteindelik oorgee aan ’n
doodse stilte. Amarikana los ’n bitter smaak in die bek.
Adam dislikes the taste of life’s dregs. While he charms
you with Jane’s Tuesday visits, he leads you down a
dark shaft where he lifts your pulse slowly to a moment
of anxiety and let you pass over into deathly silence.
Amerikana leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

van haar weggeneem is. Sy is bereid om haar huwelik
te waag om dié skadelike geheim bloot te lê. Dit mag lei
tot ander geheime wat sy gedink het vir altyd begrawe

wil hê, maar haar suster is ook al een wat weet van
daardie geheime.
Allison wants something back that was forcefully taken
from her three years ago. She is willing to risk her
marriage to expose this detrimental secret, which may
lead to other secrets that she thought only the grave
will embrace. Her greatest rival, her sister possesses
what Allison wants, but her sister is also the only one
with knowledge of these secrets.

This spine chilling and gripping story draws a thin line between reality and fantasy, acting and being, seeing and
believing, a dance between Boer and Bantu, a political symphony, with a lonely voice singing:
“Maar ek sal bly maak en breek en bou, my Afrika-lyf en skepping met valse voorwendsels en verwagtinge
verwoes, tot eendag wanneer jy my sal raaksien – my sal sien en sê: Ons almal lyk mos maar so…” Freedom.

Die jongste produksie in die Mobile Thriller-reeks deur
veelbekroonde regisseur en ontwerper, Quintin Wils.
In bRENT – ’n Mobiele Riller word gehore letterlik op
’n reis deur die strate van Bloemfontein geneem waar
hulle karakters wat glo in omkeringsterapie sal ontmoet.
Wees deel van dié buitengewone produksie wat beskryf
word as “…die mees aangrypende teaterproduksie wat
nog in Suid-Afrika te siene was!”.
For the first time in Bloemfontein and also the first time
in Afrikaans – the Mobile Thriller Series by the prize
winning director and designer Quintin Wils. In bRENT –
’n Mobiele Riller audiences are taken for a ride, literally,
through the streets of Bloemfontein where they will
meet characters who believe in reversal therapy. Be
part of this extraordinary production that has been
described as “…the most gripping theatre production
ever seen in South Africa!”
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.

van ’n kind wie se ouers dit goed bedoel, maar net nie
tyd vir hul kind kan maak nie. 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.

drag queens nou nie! Hulle is op pad na ’n oudisie vir
die TV reeks Getroud met rugby. Maar êrens tussen

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

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.

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

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

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.

‘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.
Om die uniekheid van die daaglikse lewe vas te vang,
’n oomblik in die werklikheid. ’n Fotouitstalling waarvan
die werk te koop is. Pryse wissel tussen R300 en R600.
“Terwyl daar plekke is waar ’n foto ons niks meer vertel
nie as wat die oog waarneem, is daar ander wat aan
ons bewys hoe min ons oë ons toelaat om te sien.” –
Dorothea Lange
To capture the uniqueness of everyday life, a moment in
reality. A photographic exhibition – the works exhibited
will be for sale. Prices vary from R300 to R600. “While
there is perhaps a province in which the photograph
can tell us nothing more than what we see with our
own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how
little our eyes permit us to see...” Dorothea Lange

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.
Al gedink wat sou gebeur as al die water opdroog? Of
as jy moet toustaan vir ’n bietjie water? Die tema van
droogte word ondersoek en laat die vraag: wat is jy
bereid om op te offer vir oorlewing? 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?

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.
Die /Xam-storie van die Son en sy twee seuns,
Dagbreek en Skemer, word deur dans uitgebeeld
in ’n gemengde styl van hip-hop/“mime freak” en

Mime Freak (Tristan, Allastair, San-jeug/youth)
Ná baie jaar van skeiding ontmoet ’n man en ’n vrou by
die graf van ’n geliefde. Hy leef in die huidige oomblik,
met ’n toekoms voor hom. 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.

“Snaakse boodskappe” sal vir Alice net dieper in die
hasiegat laat kruip. Die reeks neem ’n donker draai na
die absurde en terug. Die uitstalling is bedoel vir dié
wat in die vroeë oggendure wonder of die man in die
maan miskien te veel TV kyk. Nie geskik vir dié met hul
voete te vas op die aarde nie.
“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.
Willemien sing ’n verskeidenheid van haar Afrikaanse
en Franse komposisies, sowel as bekende en
onbekende Franse liedjies. Tussendeur vertel sy wat
dit vir haar beteken om twee hartstale te hê. Sy gesels
oor die rol van Afrikaans in vandag se samelewing en
hoe haar reis- en studieondervindings in Frankryk haar
liefde vir die Franse kultuur aangewakker het. Drie SuidAfrikaanse gaskunstenaars deel die verhoog met haar:
sangeres en liedjieskrywer Adelle Nqeto, koordirigent
en komponis Pieter Bezuidenhout en James Robb op
perkussie.
Willemien sings a variety of her Afrikaans and French
compositions, as well as popular and unknown French
songs. Inbetween she will explain what it means to her
to have two languages close to her heart. Three South
African guest artists share the stage with her: singer
and songwriter Adelle Nqeto, choir conductor and
composer Pieter Bezuidenhout and James Robb on
percussion.

environmental impacts and develop new thinking in
tune with global environmental challenges. JB has
since extended its remit to many other art forms
and is acknowledged as the leading organization
bridging sustainability with the arts and culture.
Trained as a cellist, Alison worked with seminal jazz
improviser and teacher John Stevens. She worked for
many years with socially excluded young people as

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

Elke jaar versoek PIKO nuwe, eksperimentele werk
deur nasionale en internasionale kunstenaars om
op die Vrystaat Kunstefees aan te bied. Werke soos
Cigdem Aydemir se Plastiekgeskiedenis, Lesiba
Mabitsela se Die man met die groen kombers, Jess
Olivieri se Die Wit Perd-projek, Sethembile Msezanese
Liefde in die tyd van Afrofobia en Nieke Lombard se
Falma is voorbeelde van hoe PIKO die aanbieding van
nuwe werk spruitend uit sy laboratoriums en kritiese
forums ondersteun. Vanjaar is dit Alex Rinsler se Dis
my stad wat as sleutelwerk van nuwe PIKO-projekte
aangebied word. Hierby voeg PAP (Publieke Artistieke
Projek) 2014 se OPENLab-kunstenaars Siphumeze
Khundayi, Francois Knoetze, Sandile Radebe en
Adelheid von Maltitz.
Each year PIAD commissions new, experimental
work from both national and international artists
to be presented at the Vrystaat Arts Festival. Works
such as Cigdem Aydemir’s Plastic Histories, Lesiba
Mabitsela’s The Man With the Green Blanket, Jess
Olivieri’s The White Horse Project, Sethembile
Msezane’s Love in the Time of Afrophobia and Nieke
Lombard’s Falma are examples of how the PIAD
supports the presentation of new work generated
from its laboratories and critical forums. This year
Alex Rinsler’s It’s My City is presented as the key
PIAD new work project. In addition, Public Art Project
(PAP) features 2014 OPENLab artists Siphumeze

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

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.

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.
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!
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.

and we are looking forward to celebrate South Afrikaans with all
of you.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Japie Gouws, besturende direkteur ATKV-groep / managing director ATKV Group
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.
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.
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.
Boodskappe van borge / Sponsors’ messages
Ons beleef tye dat eenheid en nasiebou deur politici en gegriefdes
misbruik word en die diversiteit van Suid-Afrikaners meestal onder
skoot kom.
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.
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.

Suid-Afrika se landsleuse, “!ke e: /xarra //ke”, beteken eenheid in
diversiteit.
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
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.

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.
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.
May the 2016 festival be a feast!
