South African Artists and Entertainers
South Africans are expressive people. We love music, drama, poetry and art in all its forms. These are the fruits of our nation. We love bringing these fruits together by mixing and matching their different flavours and making a tantalising fruit jam! Come and share some of our Fruit Jam around the Sense SA table and see what original local art looks like.
Whether it is poetry, drama, music, visual art, comedy or role-playing games – no one evening is the same as another. You're guaranteed a unique experience celebrating South African art and culture in a tangible and interactive way.
Music
Somewhere in-between the socially conscious protest songs of yesteryear and whimsical commentary about love and life as a young South African sits the carefully crafted songs that you will remember long after your visit to Cape Town. Leading you in with heart-warming acoustic soul, vibrant vocals, guitars, drums and even a dash of percussive rap, our local musicians will make you laugh, shed a tear and even contemplate matters of the heart!
Poetry
Hang onto your seats, this is poetry with power! Be inspired by stories from our poets centred around personal experiences and searching for life purpose through the spoken word. Join us to celebrate the profound and transformative power of young voices to invoke social change through poetry with a commitment to relevance and provocation.
Visual Art
Cape Town is home to the largest contemporary art gallery in Africa and the city boasts a vibrant arts scene, driven by the top galleries on the African continent. Thanks to its diverse cultural heritage and geographic beauty, South Africa is a compelling destination for art collectors and artists of all tastes and talents. See an artist paint right before your very eyes, hear what inspires her and be delighted at her sometimes surprising methods! Be part of creative process as the evening unfolds.
Storytelling and Comedy
Listen to the stories from our childhood and learn about the interesting traditions and habits that make South Africans who they are. One simply cannot enjoy laughter if you cannot laugh at yourself and here you have the chance to laugh with us! Experience true South African culture through a combination of catchy sing-along melodies, authentic personal stories, searing rap vocals and cheerful comedy.
