WESTERN CAPE - We have exciting news!

Wêla Kapela Productions' multi award-winning pocket musical VINCENT - HIS QUEST TO LOVE & BE LOVED is heading your way for the first (of many, we hope!) Petit-Cape Tour in July!

Since its inception in 2022, VINCENT has travelled to Cape Town multiple times, with ongoing requests for its return.

In a move to “take the show to the people”, rather than to expect audiences to travel into the Mother City this time around, the producers have made the decision to take the show to the many communities within the Western Cape.

Vincent will travel to Durbanville, Stellenbosch and Paternoster from 1 – 5 July 2026.

VINCENT PETIT-CAPE TOUR

1 & 2 July
Die Boer Tester, Durbanville
20h30
Tickets: R250

3 July
Drostdy Theatre, Stellenbosch
19h00
Tickets: R260

5 July
Die Koelkamers Teater, Paternoster
Tickets: R160 – R300

All shows can also be booked via the Wela Kapela Website: www.welakapela.co.za

VINCENT, the three time Naledi award-winning musical stars Daniel Anderson, accompanied by Paul Ferreira on piano, written and directed by Amanda Bothma.

Daniel delves deep into the enigmatic life of Vincent Van Gogh, exploring the complexities of his relentless pursuit of artistic fulfilment and genuine human connection.

Through reimagined renditions of popular musical theatre, pop, rock, and jazz numbers, this unique multimedia musical cabaret offers a fresh perspective on Van Gogh’s unwavering desire for love and acceptance.

Daniel Anderson’s commanding performance takes the audience on an emotional journey through the turbulent existence of the iconic artist.

From the very first note to the final chord, Vincent immerses the spectators in a world of passion and creativity, sparking a profound connection with Van Gogh’s timeless struggles and triumphs.

VINCENT, a multimedia musical, tells of a complex man with a ruthless drive to create and a deep-seated desire to love and be loved.

The show has enjoyed sold out seasons in all major centres in SA and most recently experienced a sold-out West End debut performance in London in August 2025.

We hope to see you in the Western Cape at one of the shows... while we look to planning the next Petit-Tour around South Africa - tell us - where should VINCENT head to next?
