A multi-talented stalwart of the South African entertainment industry for over two decades, Natani\u00ebl is more than just a producer, director, designer, playwright, public speaker and performer \u2013 he is a true icon of stage and screen.<\/p>\n
Natani\u00ebl will return to the Theatre of Marcellus stage at Emperors Palace with a new stage production, Mannequin, from August 18 to September 25.<\/p>
The production tells the story of an author who toys with the idea of writing a book about the life of a reclusive tailor.<\/p>\n
Mannequin is the story told by his tailor — a tale of surprise, fear, cruelty, humour, truth and fantasy.<\/p>
The show will not only feature original music, but also Natani\u00ebl\u2019s surprise versions of a few of the world\u2019s best known songs from the late ’60s and the ’80s.<\/p>\n
Natani\u00ebl will share the stage with long-time fellow musicians Charl du Plessis (keyboards), Juan Oosthuizen (guitars), Werner Spies (bass), Hugo Radyn (drums) and favourite singers Nicolaas Swart and Dihan Slabbert.<\/p>\n
The show, structured around stories told in both English and Afrikaans, is about visual beauty and tailoring, and features an astounding collection of new costumes by multi-award winning designer Floris Louw.<\/p>\n
Mannequin, set to captivate audiences with its masterful blend of music, storytelling and breathtaking costumes, will be performed from Wednesdays to Saturdays at 8.30pm, and on Sunday afternoons at 3pm.<\/p>\n
