Bly

Bly (Afrikaans). (The word could mean 'stay' or 'glad') Landscape art. Text by and directed by Gaerin Hauptfleisch. Landscape artist: Strijdom van der Merwe. Music: Schalk van der Merwe. With Stephanie Hough, Jan-Hendrik Opperman, Dean van der Ventel and Hein Poole. Performed at the Oudtshoorn Festival, 2013. The production addresses those who have stayed, stayed behind or were just glad. What makes one glad and what makes you stay? And why are "to suffer" and "to confess" so close to stay/glad? The landscape becomes both background and set.
