Brandon October
Crazy Little Thing Called Love

14 February 2026 - 19:00

Drostdy Teater

Feel your pulse quicken, your heart race, and your emotions awaken as Brandon October returns to the intimate Drostdy Theatre in Stellenbosch for his deeply moving Valentine’s Day show: Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

This one-night-only celebration performed in English and Afrikaans dives straight into the soul of love. From its dizzying highs, aching vulnerabilities, wild passion to its unbreakable tenderness. Brandon unveils brand-new original compositions created exclusively for this evening, blending them seamlessly with some of the most breathtaking love songs ever written.

You will lose yourself in the yearning of Goo Goo Dolls’ Iris, the fierce devotion of INXS’s Never Tear Us Apart, the breathless surrender of Cutting Crew’s (I Just) Died in Your Arms, and Bob Seger’s sultry We’ve Got Tonight. Along with timeless classics like shine: the dreamy Blue Moon, John Denver’s tender Annie’s Song, and Queen’s electrifying Crazy Little Thing Called Love.

Perfect for lovers, dreamers, or anyone longing to recapture that heart-stirring magic.

With raw emotion, poignant insight, and a voice that reaches the deepest parts of you, Brandon invites you to celebrate this Valentine’s Day with him.

Drostdy Teater

SOOIBRAND
(en ander tekens)

Die nuwe vertoning deur Nataniël!

SOOIBRAND is ’n intieme en musikale huldeblyk aan ligte ongemak, diepe skuldgevoelens, mediese skokke en volgehoue ontkenning. Met deernis, humor en vraagtekens bekyk hy hedendaagse arrogansie, ongesonde erfenis en daaglikse woede.

Nataniël bring ’n wye verskeidenheid van musiek, verniel tydlose melodieë, vertel splinternuwe verhale en werp lig op van die grootste historiese raaisels. Hy deel die verhoog met pianis Charl du Plessis. Kostuums deur Floris Louw.

Luna Paige
DIE REISIGERS

22 Februarie - 15:00

Drostdy Teater

Benoem vir Beste Musiekproduksie by Aardklop 2025

Luna Paige sing oor die “groot reis” en die immer ontwykende eindbestemming. Sy verken ruimtes waar beweging, stilte van gees, selfliefde en aanvaarding harmonie bring. Sy stel gehore bekend aan die musiek wat sy tydens haar Suid-Afrikaanse én Europese reise, onder meer die Spaanse Camino, geskryf en by die huis getoonset het. As anonieme voyeur het sy soms wel in gesprek getree en saam gewonder oor die groot verskille, maar, belangriker, oor die groot ooreenkomste wat alle reisigers op hierdie wonderbaarlike planeet aan mekaar bind.

KLANKBAAN Coenie de Villiers
VERVAARDIGER Drama Drama

Ná ’n mislukte selfdoodpoging en drie weke in ’n psigiatriese kliniek, pak Helena haar karretjie met een tas klere en bokse vol familie-items wat sy haar lewe lank bymekaarmaak – van ’n lappieskombers tot ’n alsiende glasoog. Met niks om te verloor nie, begin haar tragikomiese reis deur die land om haar versameling uit te deel en finaal van mense afskeid te neem. Gewapen met humor, ignoreer sy die wanhoop en leef sy vreesloos, vry en, op die oog af, sorgeloos. Routrip is gebaseer op ’n ware verhaal. Elzabé Zietsman is bekroon met die 2025 Aardklop-toekenning vir Beste Aktrise vir Routrip, en is ook benoem vir die 2025 Naledi-toekenning vir Beste Aktrise, asook vir ’n Woordtrofee vir Beste Prestasie in ’n soloproduksie by die 2023 Toyota US Woordfees.
