"I left the Baxter theatre, after watching Nkoli: The Vogue Opera, exhausted. It was the kind of tiredness that comes from the use of all your senses, your emotions jolting up and down and repeatedly clapping and stomping your feet along to music; the kind of fatigue that comes from both laughing and crying hysterically within the space of a few hours." - Steff Malherbe, Low Altitude Mag.

COME have a blast and enjoy an evening of vogueing, music, rap and dance that brings Q***r history alive on stage in Cape Town.

“We rarely see ourselves, our stories and our heroes reflected back to us in such empowering ways. Simon’s story, and the Story of Pride is very important because it roots our struggles and triumphs as q***r and gender diverse people of South Africa across race, class and creed.” - LGBTQI+ Artivist, award winning filmmaker, and friend of Simon Nkoli, Bev Ditsie

The production, which runs until October 19, fuses the global vogue culture with the story of South African LGBTQ+ icon Simon Nkoli, offering a celebration of q***rness and a powerful message of resistance and self-expression. We are offering discounted block bookings to organisations.
