Stories of the Caab

A unique fusion of music, dance and history

This concert is a foretaste of the extensive project Stories of the Caab. Stories from the colonial history of the Netherlands in South Africa are told through the power of music and dance. This project will culminate in Cape Town in December this year, with the stories being told from the personal perspective of the main characters, with input from interested parties from Cape Town.

The first part of the concert on May 27 consists of a solo performance by saxophonist Garth Erasmus, inspired by his KhoiSan background. The second part provides a glimpse into the collaboration that will form the basis for the December project, with Garth, Manuela and Wytze combining their creative talents for a new work rooted in the shared history between the Netherlands and South Africa.
