| at the courtyard | presents Chris Chameleon

After the revival of the album that launched his career, Chris Chameleon returns to the stage with Hartloop; a journey through the landscape of the heart.

The heart does not always run forward.

Sometimes it wanders.

Sometimes it falls.

Sometimes it flies.

In this new performance, Chris weaves stories, poems and songs into an intimate experience about how his heart moves through a lifetime.

Hartloop is a reminder that every song, every love and every loss is simply another heartbeat in the greater story.

Na die herlewing van die album wat sy loopbaan begin het, keer Chris Chameleon terug na die verhoog met Hartloop; 'n reis deur die landskap van die hart. Die hart hardloop nie altyd vorentoe nie.

Soms dwaal dit.

Soms val dit.

Soms vlieg dit.

In hierdie nuwe vertoning verweef Chris stories, gedigte en liedere tot 'n intieme ervaring oor hoe sy hart deur 'n lewe beweeg.

Hartloop is 'n herinnering dat elke lied, elke liefde en elke verlies net nog 'n hartklop in die groter verhaal is.
