DWR Distribution’s SOS Charity Fund is proud to once again support the Hilton Arts Festival to be held from the 13 – 15 September at the Hilton College in Hilton, KwaZulu Natal.
The sponsorship includes bussing thirty children from the local community to the festival, and in addition, contributing R10 000 towards the production Cellist with Rabies.
“I have been involved with Hilton Arts Festival for over twenty years and it’s always such an honour to work with Sue Clarence, her team, and Black Coffee, the technical supplier of the event,” said Michael Taylor-Broderick of DWR Distribution and the SOS. “DWR Distribution always looks forward to the festival, supporting our products used on the show, and more importantly, seeing the artistic talent South Africa has to offer.”
Cellist with Rabiesis set to be a hit at this year’s Hilton Festival. This is an extraordinary piece of writing and performance, as well as being the most unusual love story ever.
Jemma Kahn has written the production and performs in it. It is sensitively and daringly directed by Jaco Bouwer.
A virologist, on the precipice of making the first major breakthrough in rabies research since Louis Pasteur, is caught off guard when the rabies virus in her petri dish begins talking to her. Cellist with Rabies, a new South African play from a multi-award-winning team, pushes the boundaries of kamishibai to tell a story of disease, failure and breakfast.
Set in a medical research laboratory, this romantic comedy is not to be missed!
