Schalk Schoombie resenseer Rooiland: Die drama by Tertius Kapp

Rooiland: Die dramaUitspraak: wortel

Die voorbladillustrasie deur Angela Lidderdale verklap reeds die barre eenvoud van die dramatiese opset: Vier mansfigure, horisontaal opmekaar gestapel, sweef in ’n boksie.

Vertikale strepies baken hul ingekrimpte ruimtes af. Daar is skaars beweegruimte en geen uitkomkans nie. Sardiens in ’n blik.

Tonight at GIPCA: "After After Cardenio

If you can join us at GIPCA tonight, I would be so pleased. I am talking about early modern medical science and philosophy and the play I made for Greenblatt. It would be my last public talk in the city, I guess. It is in the Anatomy theatre on Hiddingh campus, at 5 for 5.30. Please tell friend and colleagues. Drinks and snacks to follow!

Tertius Kapp se Rooiland maak landswyd opslae (Plus: Video)

RooilandTertius Kapp se teaterproduksie Rooiland het onlangs by die Baxter-teater in Kaapstad kom draai en dié opspraakwekkende toneelstuk het die stad aan die praat gehad.

“Die grens tussen die werklikheid en teater verdwyn in Rooiland. Die werklikheid slaan jou in die gesig.”

Só begin die resensie wat Mariana Malan verlede jaar ná die opvoering van Rooiland in die feeskoerant Krit op die Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees op Oudtshoorn geskryf het.

LitNet het met Kapp oor die stuk gesels en hom uitgevra oor die reaksie op Rooiland en ook waar hy aan die idee vir die stuk gekom het.

Jou jongste toneelstuk, Rooiland, is op die oomblik te sien by die Baxter-teater in Kaapstad. Die stuk maak al sedert die debuut opslae – hoe voel jy oor die reaksie? Het jy dit voorsien?

Rooiland verbaas my steeds. Hiermee bedoel ek nie dat ek die produksie geringskat nie – inteendeel, ek is nou darem kordaat genoeg om te sê ek dink dis ‘n goeie teks, en dat Jaco en die produksiespan ‘n geweldig goeie vertolking daarvan lewer.

Kyk ook hier na die lokprent vir die toneelstuk:
