Brent van Rensburg, Co-founder and Artistic Director at Zip Zap shared his
excitement; “After a wonderfully successful season of MOYA in Johannesburg, I
can’t wait for Cape Town to see our philharmonic circus show, Rhapsody! This
show is part of Zip Zap’s 30-year anniversary celebrations, and after its run at
Artscape, the phenomenal talent and passion of these South African artists will be
showcased in France.”
Rhapsody is proudly supported by CapeTalk and Artscape.
Once Rhapsody completes its run at the Artscape Opera House in Cape Town, it
will travel to Paris, France where the show will complete a 3-month run at Cirque
