Media Release

A dancing cat, a howling dog, and a vampire bunny. The perfect pet combination for any family. It is a dark and stormy night and Chester (the family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to return home from the movies. Chester and Harold are more than just pets, they are good friends too. When the Monroes finally get home, they come bearing a surprise: they have found a bunny in the movie theatre. However, this is no ordinary rabbit … this is the extraordinary Bunnicula. When the family’s produce starts losing its juice, Chester thinks he knows what is causing the fantastic phenomenon. Bunnicula is a vampire! Or maybe Chester’s imagination is getting the better of him. Singing and dancing their way through this hilarious mystery, the furry friends find room in their hearts, and in their home, for one very unique bunny.

This unique musical Children’s theatre production is directed by DeBeer Cloete and features second-year Drama students in the South African premiere of Deborah and James Howe’s Bunnicula. The production runs from the 11th to the 14th op April at the Scaena Rehearsal Room on the UFS Campus and tickets are available through Computicket. The production is recommended for children 7 years and up and everyone young at heart.

The classical accordion duo, TOEAC, consists of Renée Bekkers and Pieternel Berkers.  They studied at the Fontys Academy of Music (Netherlands) with Ronald van Overbruggen where they both received their Bachelor’s degree cum laude.  Pieternel also studied ‘Teacher of Music’, and Renée did her master’s degree in pedagogy.  Both succeeded cum laude as well.  They are currently studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen with Geir Draugsvoll and James Crabb.   

TOEAC has been awarded several prized: at the Dutch Accordion-Competition, Prinses Christina-Concours, Grand-Prix International (France), Premio Internazionale di Fisarmonica (Italy), Grachtenfestival Conservatorium-Concours as well as the Vriendenkransconcours/het Debuut.

They played for several television- and radio programmes, national and international.  TOEAC is also co-operating or co-operated with other artists as writers, visual artists, live-electronica composers, dancers and actors.  They worked with orchestras such as Radio Filharmonisch Orkest, Orkest de Volharding, Schönberg Ensemble, the Nieuw Ensemble, the Malando Orkest and Rotterdams Kamerorkest.

Pieternel and Renée are convinced that the accordion is an instrument from today and from the future.  That is why they like to co-operate with composers.  Composers like B. De Murashkin, N. Whiteman, E. Caine en N. Huijbregts have written compositions for the duo.

TOEAC played or are planning to play concerts in among other, England, Germany, France, Belgium, Croatia, South Africa, Turkey, China, Indonesia, Canada and the Netherlands.  They played at several festivals like the Cheltenham Festival, Festival de Saintes, Festival van Vlaanderen, Grachtenfestival Amsterdam, Rheingau Festival, Kultur im Kreis en Aardklop.
