Vrystaat Kunstefees 2026: Private Presley Ballet

Loading player...
Yolanda Maartins gesels met Dirk Badenhorst van die Mzansi Ballet.

’n Vertelling van Elvis Presley se lewe waarin sy mees bekende treffers gevier word, met dansers van Mzansi Ballet en sangers Frederick Fourie en Patience Mahema. Ballet en rock-’n-roll word gemeng in hierdie ballet wat die kompleksiteite van Presley se persoonlike lewe ondersoek, met verwysing na sy militêre diens, wat in die titel Private Presley weerklink, en sy hegte verhoudings met veral die vroue wat sy lewe en musiek sterk beïnvloed het.
