Renos Nicos Spanoudes chats to Marcel Meyer about Star+Crossed during Saturday’s Role
Renos Nicos Spanoudes chats to Marcel Meyer about Star+Crossed during Saturday’s Role.
Abrahamse & Meyer Productions and VR Theatrical join forces to present the world première of a thrilling new musical, Star+Crossed, inspired by the life of one of South Africa’s most eccentric daughters, Elizabeth Klarer, at the Artscape Arena from 9 - 31 December 2022.
Klarer gained fame and notoriety during the height of apartheid with her incredible claim that she was abducted by an Alien from the foothills of the Drakensberg, transported to his Utopian planet in the Alpha Centauri System, where she bore him a son, before returning to earth, to spread his message of love, compassion, and his urgent call to protect our planet and find more sustainable ways of living here on earth.
Spanning almost nine decades, from 1910, with the formation of the Union of South Africa, until 1994, when Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa’s first democratically elected president, Star+Crossed explores how we use stories and fantasies to transmute a dark, barren world into something more meaningful, mythic, and beautiful.
The musical, with book and lyrics by Marcel Meyer and music by Wessel Odendaal, centres on two unlikely people finding each other in extraordinary circumstances while forging a profound connection that transcends, time, space, and South Africa’s oppressive apartheid laws. An interstellar love story for the ages with a lush, romantic, original score that is bound to transport audiences to the stratosphere and beyond.
Star+Crossed runs from 9 - 31 December 2022 in the Artscape Arena, Cape Town.
Performances are Tuesdays – Saturdays at 8pm, with additional matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays at 2pm. Tickets range from R200 – R250.
Bookings are now open and available via Computicket/Shoprite Checkers outlets, Computicket online or Artscape Dial-a-Seat 021 421 7695.
