“There once was a Velveteen Rabbit, and in the beginning, he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a Rabbit should be; and for at least an hour the Boy loved him”.

Hoe speelgoed regtig-egtig word is a brand-new theatre script from the pen of Karen Combrinck based on Margery Williams’ beloved tale of the Velveteen Rabbit.  The production tells the tale of a shy toy rabbit who wants nothing more than becoming real.  One day the toy rabbit ends up on a heap of Christmas gifts.  Along with the other toys, old and new, the velveteen rabbit goes on a journey of discovery during which he realizes that it is not what you can do or what you look like that matters, but that being loved by someone else makes you real. 

DeBeer Cloete (Bunnicula, Lyle the Crocodile and A monster under the bed) directs this production that showcases the talents of the second-year drama and theatre arts students. 

The production opens on Wednesday 19 September at the Rehearsal Room at the Scaena Theatre Complex on the UFS campus. 

Tickets are available through Computicket and are priced between R20 and R25. 

Showtimes are as follow:  19 - 21 September 11:00, 21 September 18:00 and 22 September 10:00 and 12:00.

TOEAC: performance by virtuoso accordion duo from the Netherlands

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.
