Twee reisende spelers, ’n verteller en handlanger (afgewater uit die Commedia dell'arte kader), skets drie verhale: die biografie van ’n traan, ’n liefdesdriehoek tussen matador, mantel en bul en ’n legendariese nag van passie. Wessel Pretorius en David Viviers keer terug na KKNK met Klara Maas se hart is gebreek, plus twee nuwe verhale wat saam ’n trilogie oor lewensiklusse van drie hard-‘vogtige’ helde, vorm. Die eerste van dié drie verhale, is as deel van die KKNK se eerste Uikampteater-projek in 2016, met die Kanna vir beste debuutwerk bekroon. 

Media & Reviews

"My Afrikaans is not perfect, and the words fly at a pace so I didn’t catch every single one of them, but I think that made it even better, because I was witnessing the wonder of every single prop that surrounded the stage being used, the hilarious and perfect slapstick, the amazing chemistry between Wessel and David, the mastery of the story telling and magic of live performance."

Review of 'Klara Maas' by Megan Furniss

"a very delicately woven physical theatre comedy experience"

Audience Responses

Don't try to hard.

Excellent play and performance, witty, original and entertaining.

Wessel Pretorius is 'n briljante dramaturg. Die gefokusde, energieke spel van Wessel Pretorius en David Viviers is 'n plesier! Afrikaanse teater met 'n brein en balls.

Great show!!! Well done x

Just sad to hear this kind of show isn't PACKED every night! Loved it!!!

Absolutely loved it! It's one of those Afrikaans shows that have travelled around to all the festivals, but I've never been able to watch and enjoy it, and I'm so glad I got the opportunity (and in such an intimate space).

World Class Show and Performances! Well done guys.

I love this show. I've seen it before and I'd see it again. Wessel and David are beautiful together

Eerste en derde dele van trilogie was briljant! 2de een uitstekend, maar het vir my effe afgesteek by die ander. Baie dankie aan Wessel en David wat so skerp op mekaar ingestel is en so mooi daarin slaag om die teks te respekteer en dit net genoeg ruimte te gee, want in ander se hande kan die teks op loop sit met die akteurs - wens ek kon my skoolkinders ook daar hê! Dit was my eerste besoek aan die venue - lieflike atmosfeer, maar joe! die teatertjie het baie bedompig geraak!

So much fun! It suited the intimate theatre setup perfectly. Enjoyed it very much. Will definitely be back for more shows at Alexander.

Wow! What a show! Fantasties! Ons het ons self gate uit geniet!

Ekt gelag dat die trane rol.

Witty, energetic and innovative. One for the books!

Was wonderful and very funny. Thank you for supporting this production!

Loved the show and the venue and will definitely be back????????????

Absoluut skitterend aanmekaargesit! Wessel & Dawid vorm 'n fantastiese verhoogpaar. ;) Ek weet nie hoe hoog Wessel was toe hy met die toneelstuk se idee opgekom het nie, maar ek wil ook daarvan hê.

Genius.

Loved it!!!

Excellent play and performance, witty, original and entertaining.

Really good, all enjoyed it

Stunning! Men with sooo much talent. Quality theatre that inspires, makes you feel so vastly and lets you walk out with an amazing audience thrill. Wessel en David het mý hart gebreek! Cant wait to come back! Alexander bar- great and friendly staff. Such cozy atmosphere, my new fav hideout! See you soon

This was a fantastic show. I went to go see the show with my mother. She loved it. Well written. It was funny. Full of energy. Over the top. Imaginative. Most of all it was camp. Not many can pull off camp well, this show was deliciously campy! Bravo.

Brilliant

Amazing afrikaans theater. Suprised that it was not sold out.

Dit was baie goed. So bly dat ek dit kom kyk het. Sal dit defnitief aanbeveel vir ander mense.

Excellent, clever comedy

Probably the theatrical highlight of my 2017 !

Absolutely brilliant.

We loved every minute of the show, including the malfunctions!

Amazing amazing amazing!!!! Please do more Afrikaans production like this one at Alex... Please!

Absolutely incredible. The funniest show I've seen in my life! Will watch it 100 times over. Another Alexander Bar run is needed!

Dit was pret.

Excellent / brilliant Can be thoroughly enjoyed even if you do not speak Afrikaans If you find a way to make subtitles would be really amazing

Absolutely brilliant!!! I was literally crying from laughter! My tummy muscles got a proper workout. It's so clever and out of the box thinking, and the acting and facial expressions was brilliant!!

Dit was 'n briljante komedie. Uitstekende uitgevoer en vlymskerp.

Adorable, delightful, magical and entertaining. I fell in love with everything.

We arrived early for drinks and food - the vibe and service was great! When one enteres the upstairs theater, you get greeted by an inviting stage (full of fun and in-the-cheek props), a comfortable cool room temperature and a lot of anticipation. The sound was good, the crowd interactive, and the actors absolutely brilliant! What an Exceptional show! I will watch this one again and again - the humor is on point and the acting of a very high standard! We had a blast of a time! Bravo

Was FANTASTIC! Loved every minute!!!

Brilliantly funny, unique, creative, beautiful, well-written and so much fun! What a great, enjoyable show! Absolutely loved the set and props.

Fabulous show!

Brilliant performers, fun style and clever stories. We had a great time - even though our Afrikaans is a little 'wish you-washy'.

It was truly funny, and not in way that you can tell the jokes over.

Stunning! Completely unique and fresh. Also extremely hilarious! Superb show. My daughter has seen the show at Woordfees and since then she just wanted us to see it as well. Ek moet ook dan eerlik se al haar positiewe aanmerkings en lus-makertjies oor die stuk, was ook oortref deur hierdie fantastiese opvoering! Regtig Briljant.

Absolutely amazing performance!

Brilliant! What a fresh, vibrant show. The story has so much heart and, and this is rare, has the technique and skill on the performers and writers part to do its quirkiness justice. We walked out with massive smiles wanting to eat ice-cream and hug strangers. PLEASE keep on doing Afrikaans theatre. Your venue is such a wonderful platform for these artists and an opportunity for us to see these gems.

It was a delicious show. I am the richer for it. Thank you!

Avant garde Afrikaans comedy - very enjoyable and fun! Please continue to do great work of a world class standard in Afrikaans - loved it!

David Viviers is a sex god. Can't he be in every play please???

Absolutely brilliant.

A ridiculously hilarious trilogy about bodily fluids? In a world as crazy as the one we are currently in, this feels positively normal. A love struck teardrop, an eternal droplet of blood and a spermatozoon with a hankering to fly. If this doesn't tickle your soul, nothing will.

Remarkable .. full of imagination and wonderment .. exquisitely executed .. supremely intelligent.
