Antigone
(not quite/quiet)
“Ninganiki Okungcwele Ezinjeni”
about
Antigone, an old story from the dawn of democracy. Rule, order, power, women, mortality.
A new context. A time to scream. An exciting group of collaborators:
Mark Fleishman, Jennie Reznek, Neo Muyanga, Craig Leo, Mandisa Vundla.
But we are tyrants too. We look, but we see nothing. Someone speaks to us, but we hear nothing.
And we go on in our endlessly narcissistic self-justification, adding Facebook updates and posting on Instagram.

Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards
The Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards are a well known and respected set of theatre awards on offer in the Western Cape since 1979.
History
Fleur du Cap was originally the name of one of a famous old wine farm in Somerset West and a brand name used by Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery. This name was chosen as the name under which the former Three Leaf Arts Awards were to be made from 1979 onwards, when Stellenbosch Farmers' Winery and Distillers Corporation merged to form Distell and the Oude Meester Foundation for the Arts (later the Distell Arts and Culture) became the sponsors. When speaking of them, people tend to say someone has won a Fleur du Cap Award or more often simply a Fleur du Cap.
Award Ceremonies
The Fleur du Cap Theatre Awards are presented in March. Formerly it was an afternoon affair held on a Sunday, but in the late 1990s, under the auspices of Distell Arts and Culture, it became a more glamorous evening affair hosted by a Cape Town theatre, where South African entertainers perform and tickets are made available to the general public. All funds generated are donated to development in the performing arts.
Awards and winners
The awards recognise excellence in theatre by giving awards to top professionals for distinguished acting, dir
