The artist known for his superb rendering of great songs such as The man who plays the mandolino, Kom saam vanaand (kykNET - Daar doer in die Fliek) and Sawends, and also key initiator of the Helping Hand Fund for the Elderly, Steve D, was admitted to hospital during December 2011 with drastic blood loss due to a bleeding ulcer. He is now in a stable condition. Steve D was scheduled to perform at the One&Only at the V&A Waterfront on 5, 12, 19 and 26 January 2012.

Hypnopompic is a new physical theatre production produced and performed by Amit Raz with direction by Craig Leo. Hypnopompic describes the state of semi-consciousness preceding waking and in this production is expressed through a multi-disciplinary performance work using dance and puppetry, taking the audience on a journey through the many layered and magical world of a sleeper's dreams. The piece starts with the performer drifting off to sleep in his bed which becomes an ever-changing landscape. The set is designed by architect Amir Gazit, and is constructed according to parametric design, using parameters to define various forms that represent the different states of dream and its attendant motifs in the production. Innovative choreographic devices explore universal dream themes of flight and being chased, of eroticism and nightmare. Stylised puppets, created by Amit Raz and Craig Leo emerge from the bed as archetypal visitors to the sleeper. The show features selected dialogues by Brent Meersman and contemporary dance elements are brought together by choreographer Ananda Fuchs with physical theatre to reveal the sleeper’s confrontation with his deep fears surrounding self-image, power and women. Tickets available at the theatre or call 0823208199. NB. Due to content there is a PG18 on this production.

Six of the Best A Tribute to Freddie Mercury, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, Billy Joel, Cher & Pink The Barnyard Theatre Productions presents a tribute to surpass all tributes, as we celebrate the music of the 6 greatest pop icons of all time. Imagine a concert featuring Freddie Mercury, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, Billy Joel, Pink and Cher all on one stage in one show singing number one hits from the last four decades of pop music. These artists have dominated the charts to such a degree and made such an impact on the music industry that it is essential to stage a special tribute! The show features an 11- piece cast who make their way through a repertoire that was made in Rock and Roll Heaven. Just imagine Meat Loaf challenging the vocal ability of Freddie who in turn has to compete with Bon Jovi! Then we have the power and beauty of Pink, and the soulfulness of Billy, and of course let’s not forget the flamboyance and decadence of Cher! Six of the Best is about showmanship and charisma and the music all comes together in one big concert that will simply blow your mind!
