GAETAN SCHMID's hilarious BODY LANGUAGE
Who would have thought that the human body could be so funny? But in Gaetan Schmid's latest show, even the lowly goose bump gets a laugh. In his masterful hands, our body becomes a production, a stage on which many stories are played out – most of them hilarious!
Straight from sold out seasons in Cape Town, the Grahamstown National Arts Festival and the Hilton Festival, the production is not to be missed!
“a solo tour de force” KR Sunday Times
“there are many types of laughter in this reality comedy - the biggest joke of all is the laughter of recognition” AK Cue

| GILAN GORK: BEYOND THE MIND: 7th - 11th February |
|
BEYOND THE MIND
starring renowned mentalist
GILAN GORK
Gilan Gork has wowed audiences on several occasions at various events held at the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square. Now from 7th – 11th February, due to huge popular demand, he will be presenting his thrilling “mind blowing” show for one week only! Most people have only heard about things like bending metal with the mind, but have never had first hand experience of mind reading and the power of thought control.
Gilan Gork demonstrates these abilities in an entertaining and dynamic way, as he bends metal with his mind, reads thoughts and even predicts events before they happen. He inspires his audience to recognise the real potential within us all.
Viewers were riveted when he appeared on SABC’s 3Talk and won over three sceptics. Some viewers even called in to say that old broken clocks and watches were working again!
“I have no super-natural powers. I am simply tapping into abilities that we all already possess. I believe that anyone can learn to do what I do. My passion is in enhancing your experience. To pull you into the mind, where everything is possible, and then back into reality with inspired perspectives.” Gilan Gork said.
Book early before it disappears! One week only!
