George – Experience the magic of time in motion with Eterna, a captivating new theatre production written and directed by the acclaimed Dr. Ronell van Aswegen. This innovative show, titled Eterna, The Eternal Cycle of the Four Seasons, invites audiences on a journey through the rhythm of nature’s transformations, exploring themes of renewal, change, and timelessness.Artistic Concept and Vision
The core idea behind Eterna is to create a harmonious fusion of nature-inspired photographic imagery with a diverse range of musical compositions. This integration crafts a unique and immersive environment, allowing the audience to experience the transformation of the seasons through multiple artistic mediums.
Distinguished Cast and Creative Team
The production features a cast of celebrated musicians, including the Eden Camerata Chamber Choir under the direction of André van Zyl, baritone Daniël Verster, concert organist Gerrit Jordaan, and pianist Throy Petersen. Their musical talent sets the foundation for the performance’s emotional and atmospheric depth.
Joining the musicians on stage are passionate and highly skilled dancers: Eunika Germishuys, Anthony Rau, and Monique Zürich. The cast is further enriched by two young dancers, Amélie Raubenheimer and Asha North, from the Abbi Geldenhuys Academy of Ballet, who bring youthful energy and grace to the production.
Visual Storytelling
The visual narrative of Eterna is elevated by striking photographs contributed by Peter and Theresa van der Byl, Rolf Eichenberger, and Sheldon Bubanj. These exceptional images serve as a vivid backdrop, enhancing the central love story and enriching the overall production with depth and atmosphere.
A Multi-Faceted Theatrical Experience
Eterna blends dramatic storytelling, evocative visuals, and immersive soundscapes to bring the four seasons to life on stage. Audiences will witness the vibrant rebirth of Spring, the warmth and celebration of Summer, the reflective beauty of Autumn, and the quiet resilience of Winter, all interwoven in a seamless and multi-layered theatrical experience. “This show is a celebration of life’s cycles,” says Dr. Ronell van Aswegen, “and a reminder that, like the seasons, we each journey through phases of growth, rest, and transformation.” Eterna promises to inspire and move audiences of all ages.
