The bronze sibling statue, nicknamed the little sister, has been in France since its completion in 2009.
Celebrating the return to live theatre in South Africa, Marcel Puig s extraordinary play
Kiss of the Spider Woman, directed by the multi-award-winning Sylvaine Strike, is on at The Baxter Golden s Arrow Studio in Cape Town from 5 to 19 June 2021.
Forty-five years since it was first penned in Spanish,
Kiss of the Spider Woman weaves an alluring exploration of sexual and societal norms, examining the power of escapism through the imagination and magnifying the web that it is woven between identity and sexuality.
It has captured the attention of audiences for its romantic drama, political outcry and postmodern style portrayed through its two characters, Molina and Valentin. It was adapted for the stage in 1983. The 1985 film version of the play, starring William Hurt and Raul Julia, also received widespread critical acclaim.
Cité des Arts, a community-based theatre and arts venue, has been saved for the rest of 2021.
The non-profit organization that showcases local artists endeavors has reached its goals of $40,000 in the Save Cité des Arts fundraiser.
The $40,000 goal was to pay for rent owed to the landlord since the beginning of the pandemic and to also pay the 2021 rent up front.
Cité des Arts board president Chrys Vildibill said the fundraiser would not have been the success that it was without donations from William C. Schumacher Family Foundation, the J.C. Moss Family Charitable Fund, Lafayette Neighborhoods Economic Corporation, SOLA Giving Day and of course all our regular supporters.
