About

ABOUT MUTTON HOUR

Mutton Hour is a compact travelling circus of theatre that provides the ideal entertainment for any occasion. Combining humour, musical interludes and kamishibai (Japanese illustrated storytelling) this show is for anyone who might need a whimsical re-introduction to the world of theatre, after a two year hiatus. Not for children under 16 years of age (though they've definitely seen worse on the internet).

In Mutton Hour bring van ons voorste teaterlui kort stories oor liefde, verlies , krokodille en katte na die verhoog-lekker lawwe verhale vol humor, musiek en kamishibai, die Japannese tegniek van geïllustreerde storievertelling. Dié produksie sal jou ná twee jaar van pandemie-grendeltye weer van voor af lief maak vir teater!

THE TEAM

Geskryf deur: Jemma Kahn, De Klerk Oelofse, Cintaine Schutte en Gideon Lombard

Regie: Gideon Lombard

Met: Cintaine Schutte en Wilhelm van der Walt

CINTAINE SCHUTTE

Aktrise & Vervaardiger

Cintaine het in kleuterskool konserte van ‘n padda, tot ‘n mier, tot ‘n by, tot ‘n nar gespeel. As jy na haar CV kyk (kyk mense nog na CV’s?) sien jy dat sy haar drama graad af betaal het en dat sy presies is waar sy moet wees. Teater, TV, Film, stemwerk, produksie werk en vervaardiging is een deel van haar lewe.

Die ander deel van haar lewe is haar Vabond, Lily haar kat, wyn saam met geliefdes, swem in die see en Tinkies eet. Sy is innig dankbaar dat sy nooit weer ‘n nar in haar lewe hoef te speel nie.

WILHELM VAN DER WALT

Akteur

Wilhelm wou eintlik Sielkundige of 'n Rollercoaster-resensent word. Maar die kursusse was vervelig, en toe hy uitvind hy is Andre Huguenet se agter- kleinnefie, toe slaan hy oor na Drama en Teaterkuns.

Na 6 jaar van Drama studies, betree Wilhelm toe die industrie. Hy is nogsteeds daarin. Soos julle kan aflei. As hy nie op die verhoog, of voor die kamera, of voor 'n mikrofoon is nie, sal jy hom vind waar hy kontempleer oor die lewe, die liefde en waar sy kat Freddie is. Hy reken die hoogtepunt van sy loopbaan was toe hy die rookmasjien gespeel het in 'n verhoogverwerking van Gorillas in the Mist - On Ice!

GIDEON LOMBARD

Regisseur

Gideon is te nuuskierig vir sy eie beswil. Na ’n mislukte poging om argiktetuur te studeer, neem hy die scenic route deur ’n paar jaar se tale, musiek en filosofie. Iewers oppad kry hy ’n TEATER infeksie en, na meerdere pogings, sukkel hy steeds om heeltemaal gesond te word.

Oor die afgelope dekade doen hy fantastiese werk met nominasies, maar het darem al hier en daar iets gewen ook. Hy het een been in TV, die ander in tech, maar vind steeds sy grootste plesier met sy derde been in die teater.
