The Reservation by Figure of 8 Dance Theatre

Award-winning contemporary dance company, Figure of 8 Dance Theatre, presents their yearly company season. Co-directed by Buhle Ngaba & Grant van Ster. Script by Wilken Calitz. Lighting design by Nell van der Merwe.

Guests, patrons and fellow diners our annual company season runs from 3-6 September at Magnet Theatre, and this year we invite you to take your seat at the table for The Reservation — a bold, immersive dance-theatre production that holds a mirror to social habits and hungers.

Set in the fast-paced world of a bustling urban restaurant, plates and politics collide as we serve up an à la carte of movement and meaning. A place where strangers collide, lovers quarrel and families reunite as waiters waltz between realities; where the customer is always right — en die chef is altyd bedonnerd. It’s a paradise for influencers where selfies flash and dishes glisten.

Every plate holds a memory.

Every exit leaves a trace.

Make your reservation.
