ABOUT US | OOR ONS |
|
TEATERteater word bedryf deur Marthinus Basson en Hugo Theart vanuit Stellenbosch, Suid-Afrika.
TEATERteater bied ons die geleentheid om met kreatiewe en inspirerende individue te werk en om samewerking tussen talentvolle teaterpraktisyns te bewerkstellig.
Een van ons grootste doelwitte is om ‘n meer permanente infrastruktuur te vestig wat aan ‘n geselskap van akteurs, regisseurs, skrywers en tegnici ‘n meer standvastige omgewing bied waarbinne hulle kan skep en asemhaal.

HUGO THEART is ‘n opgeleide akteur, toevallig ‘n produksiebestuurder, ‘n aspirant regisseur en vervaardiger uit noodsaak. Hy is weetgierig en nuuskierig van natuur en tog is hy ‘n baie slegte student. Sy passie is teater, maar hy is ook baie lief vir televisie en film. Daar is ‘n toekenning of twee wat hy sou kon noem, maar daar is meer wat nie aan hom toegeken is nie. Hy het al met internasionale sterre, sepiesterre, teatergode, genieë, skoonheidskoninginne, supermodelle, prima donnas, engele, meesters, selfbehepte #####, talentvolle en ontalentvolle mense gewerk. Hy raak gou verveeld en daarom is sy loopbaan dalk bietjie skisofrenies van aard. Theart sou graag eendag ‘n film sy eie wou noem en die gedagte aan ‘n dokumentêre film of reeks prikkel hom. Genoeg.
