For the very first time in its history, the festival will host two full-length theatre plays, ‘Placeholder’ by Cathrine Bisset and ‘Rites of Passage’ by Luntu Masiza and Olivier Van Den Hende. ‘Placeholder’ set against the historic backdrop of 1790’s Saint-Domingue, tells the story of the female lead Minette who while waiting at the theatre in Port-au-Prince is haunted by ghosts from her past conjured up by the auditorium fumes. ‘Rites of Passage’ transports you into isiXhosa and French cultures while following the journey of two friends retracting the stories that brought them from boyhood to manhood exploring the themes of identity and acceptance.

You will be also invited to write your own haiku poems inspired by the beautiful nature surrounding you in the garden.
