The Bald Diva

A typical English family: a typical English husband; a typical English wife, and a typical English home – except for the grandfather clock that strikes any number of times whenever it feels like it! How odd! And why are all the family friends named Bobby Watson?

Not much makes sense in Eugene Ionesco’s acclaimed play, The Bald Diva, but that’s half the fun. A French maid, a fireman and two very confused dinner guests all turn a “typical” English evening into an experience that no-one is likely to forget soon.

The Bald Diva is an hour-long romp through the absurdity of language, English tradition and strained marital relationships. Directed by Dion van Niekerk, and starring a bunch of highly talented students, this classic masterpiece is not to be missed!

The Bald Diva will be playing at the University of the Free State’s Scaena theatre from the 24th to the 26th May at 19:30pm. Tickets are available at Computicket.

Urban Safari: Art in public space - Artist talk by Alex Rinsler
Alex Rinsler is a public artist based in Manchester UK. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, representing the UK with Urban Fox at the Jing'an International Sculpture Project in Shanghai, 2014. He started the Giant's Foundry in the UK as a place for people to make magical projects that can inhabit city spaces, and bring a touch of the wild to our urban lives. In Manchester he has just produced the opening for HOME, a multi-disciplinary arts centre with five cinemas, two theatres and art gallery. He believes that big and colourful things can give us permission to think differently about the cities we live in, create new imagery and new identities, and ultimately offer a chance for us to live together better.

Rinsler is in Bloemfontein as part of the Programme for Innovation in Artform Development (PIAD), an initiative of the Vrystaat Kunstefees and the University of the Free State, to explore what might be possible in Bloemfontein in the years to come. Join him at this artist talk to hear more about the processes behind his work and to share your ideas.
