After a triumphant sold-out season Alice in Cape Flats returns to the Baxter’s Masambe Theatre for a short season by popular demand.
Alice in the Cape Flats is a story of discovery and acceptance — the discovery of who we've always been, and the radical act of accepting it.
We follow Alice as she embarks on a whimsical journey through time, encountering a host of fantastical characters who each reveal a piece of the truth she’s been searching for. From the mischievous charm of Double D and the magnetic mystery of Mad Hatter, to the stern wisdom of the Queenie, every figure Alice meets is a mirror of her inner world — a manifestation of the many selves she’s learning to embrace.
This production is a reflection of life under the weight of societal pressures — a society obsessed with perfection and fueled by insecurity — and what it means to resist that, especially as a queer, femme-presenting individual in the Cape Flats.
The characters are not just figments of imagination, but vibrant celebrations of Cape Town’s Kullit queerness. This spirit pulses through the heart of the production.
Expect a world of bold adventure, infectious laughter, unapologetic Gayle, and musical performances that will transport you deep into the magical, complex, and utterly fabulous world of the Cape Flats.
