Voorkamerfest 2007

SA performers and performers from abroad will stage their shows in front rooms of the Darling resident's houses - music, singing, dancing in township houses as well as in the mansions

The annual Voorkamerfest is a theatrical adventure you don't want to miss as local residents in Darling welcome you into their homes to enjoy drama and entertainment by famous South African and foreign actors and entertainers.

During the last weekend of August, the unique Voorkamerfest (Front room Festival) will once again take place in the quaint West Coast town of Darling, a village only 55 minutes north of Cape Town that is also known for its gorgeous spectacle of wild flowers, wonderful wine estates, a vibrant community and of course Evita se Perron, which is the hub of the Voorkamerfest.

Five productions are allocated per route, when you buy your ticket, the surprise is that you don't know which route you'll do, local taxi's transport you around the village to the different shows on your route. The shows are spread across the village from uptown to downtown, making the Voorkamerfest a genuine cross cultural South African Festival.

Darling is known as the flower of the west coast, with the golden wheatfields in summer, rusty vineyards in autumn, rich green hills dotted with grazing cows and fields of arum lilies in winter, then in spring, the breathtaking beauty of the wild flowers.
