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.”
