Joburg Ballet is bringing its production Celestial Bodies to the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town, one of several events on offer in the city and nearby towns over the weekend of 14 and 15 November, IOL reported.
The line-up also includes a Belgian food festival in Newlands, a live beading contest at the V&A Waterfront, a stargazing night and a fitness festival in Franschhoek.
Celestial Bodies is a joint project between Joburg Ballet and Universe on Stage. It mixes dance, science and music, according to IOL.
Mario Gaglione choreographed the show. It tells the story of how the universe began and changed over time, using classical ballet, film projections and an original piano score.
Theoretical physicist Dr Luca Pontiggia gives live scientific narration during the show. Composer Yasheen Modi plays the original music. The story runs from the Big Bang to the start of life.
In Newlands, A Taste of Belgium returns for its 15th edition. Visitors can buy freshly made waffles, gourmet frites and traditional Belgian dishes.
The festival will also have local craft stalls, live music and activities for families. Entry is free. Parking is available off site, with a free shuttle to the venue.
At the V&A Waterfront, Relate will host a celebration of the women who make Relate Bracelets. Twelve master beaders, known as gogos, will take on local personalities, influencers and cause ambassadors in a live bead-off.
The event will have three rounds of friendly competition, live speed beading, public beading stations and entertainment. IOL said the work of these women helps create income and supports communities and causes across South Africa.
The South African Astronomical Observatory is holding a public Open Night. It starts with a talk by PhD student Max Chong called Our Quest to Find Life Beyond Earth.
Visitors can also take a guided tour of the observatory’s library, museum and its 120-year-old McClean Telescope. If the weather allows, guests will look at the night sky through the outreach telescopes.
In Franschhoek, Motherkind is hosting the PowerHER Fit Fest with Australian fitness entrepreneur Kayla Itsines. The full-day event combines fitness, wellness and entertainment.
The programme includes a live workout with Itsines, fitness sessions, wellness talks, brand stands and a Food and Brand Village.
The day will end with the PowerHER After Party, which has an all-female line-up of performers led by Lady Zamar.
