Pieter-Dirk Uys: Weerklink van 'n wanklank | The Echo of a Noise

With Pieter-Dirk Uys

Since it was first performed in 2016, Echo of a Noise has continued to surprise. Audiences around the world are captivated as Pieter-Dirk Uys shares his story. As he has learned, every performance is the first and the last – because every audience demands and receives a different energy, relevance and excitement.

At the age of 81, it is not his successes that drive him, but the small signposts that have subconsciously always pointed him in the right and original direction: his father, Hannes Uys; his mother, Helga Bessel; his grandmothers; his teachers; his passions – Sophia Loren, censorship, false eyelashes, and making a noise when others insist on silence.

Met Pieter-Dirk Uys

Sedert dit die eeste keer in 2016 opgevoer is, het Weerklink van ’n wanklank aanhou verras. Gehore oor die wêreld heen sit vasgevang wanneer Pieter-Dirk Uys sy storie deel. Soos hy geleer het is elke optrede die eerste en laaste - want elke gehoor vereis en kry ’n ander energie, relevansie en opwinding. Op 81-jaringe ouderdom is dit nie die suksesse wat hom aanspoor nie, maar die klein wegwysers wat onderbewustelik nog altyd die regte en oorspronklike rigting aangewys het: sy pa Hannes Uys, sy ma Helga Bessel, sy oumas, sy onderwysers, sy passies - Sophia Loren, sensuur, vals ooghare en om ’n geraas te maak wanneer ander aandring op stilte.
