We have taken "The Bridge" literally and figuratively
to venues and theatres countrywide (the whole metal structure
too) and to three festivals (Karoo, Hadeda - Tzaneenfees, Kalahari
Kuierfees - Upington) and finally we bring it to you, since
you asked for it.
Helena
Hettema, cabaret artist and songwriter who is known countrywide
for writing and singing the theme song for the Sonkring
TV series some years ago.
Once again she will be bringing to the KKNK her latest
cabaret, The Bridge that had its debut to critical acclaim
at this year's Karoo Arts Festival. To quote from a review
of the show "haar ongelooflike stem en oneindige energie
is betowerend van begin tot end en sy slaag deurentyd daarin
om haar gehoor op hul tone te hou...word briljant deur
Alwyn van Heerden op klavier begelei..."
Helena also performed this show at the Tzaneen Festival
in July and the Sterrewag Theatre in Bloemfontein and the
Kalahari Kuierfees in Upington, to full houses and standing
ovations.
To quote from Die Volksblad: "Genoeg
boeiendheid in haar voordrag en stem om die gehoor
in die holte van haar hand te hou..."
En: "Lei na 'n musikale
ervaring wat lank nog op stewige pilare in die gedagtes
en die gemoed sal bly staan..."
She and her pianist of seven
years, Alwyn van Heerden were invited to perform in London,
Belgium and Holland on invitation at the end of September.
Helena is also continuously performing The Bridge at
other venues and theatres throughout the country such as
the Centurion Theatre and the prestigious Teaterhuisie
of Carel and Petru Trichardt in Pretoria.
Here follows a description of The Bridge:.
