CORONåTION
THE NEW STAGE PRODUCTION by NATANIËL
Nataniël brings his latest creation, CORONåTION, to the stage at the Theatre Of Marcellus, Emperors Palace, from 5 February 2009.
A king too shy to appear in public, a dictator eating his subjects, a pregnant beauty queen, a commander in love with the enemy, through the ages history has provided us with countless examples of the unbelievable and the royally insane. CORONåTION takes a look at the madness and absurdity of power and those whose lives are ruled by it, those who will die in pursuit of it, those who will die being oppressed by it, those who will die defying it and those not realizing they are in possession of it.
Nataniël shares the stage with Charl du Plessis (keyboards), Juan Oosthuizen (guitar), Corné Dannhauser (bass), Tonia Selley (percussion), Vincenzo Henrico (drums), Adriana (violin), Wynand Dacel (violin), Elizabeth Rennie (viola) and Jacques-Pierre Malan (cello).
Fantastical, hysterical, dramatic, direct, honest, disturbing, visually breathtaking, always entertaining, Nataniël brings his view of modern society to the stage like never before. Not to be missed!
Script, music and staging by Nataniël. Costumes by Floris Louw.
