At Edge, a rooftop restaurant in Cape Town, chef Vusi Ndlovu runs a sustainability-focused no-waste kitchen. One use for leftovers and offcuts is the restaurant’s bar. It’s where sommelier/mixologist Jaycee Kondo comes up with unusual mixed drinks, such as his slightly fiery Jollof cocktail. It’s made with repurposed jollof rice, a dish Ndlovu makes in the Senegalese style but using Nigerian spices.

DANCE A too-short run of Cape Ballet Africa’s latest triple bill, Breathwords, includes the world premiere of whispers from within by Dutch choreographer Wubkje Kuindersma, Nacho Duato’s much-acclaimed Remanso, and an expanded version of Kirsten Isenberg’s dreamy, light-as-a-feather Reverie. It is almost shocking what dancing does for the soul.

Like huge wraiths, their shadows danced on the walls to a haunting soundtrack. Four dancers in identical cropped wigs and tunic dresses repeating sequences of gestures on the large turntable on the performance space. Their movements and rhythms were simultaneously strange and familiar, the music they moved to a synthesis of organic and electronic. An integration of real and digital that in many ways is what life has become.

Jerome Barnes is light on his feet. Ridiculously light. I had witnessed the British dancer’s fleet-footedness a few days earlier, during the final dress rehearsal for Giselle, in which he dances the part of Albrecht, a philandering, lovestruck nobleman-in-disguise. In it, Barnes, who has been a dancer for almost 20 years, launched off the stage with that spritely, gravity-defying effortlessness that gives ballet audiences precisely that sense of flight we earthbound humans crave.

THEATRE Forget Goethe, never mind Marlowe: this revival and reworking of the 1995 production of ‘Faustus in Africa!’ is from another dimension. It features live actors, charcoal animations and astonishing puppetry. Helmed by directors William Kentridge and Lara Foot, it’s a wondrous team effort, an astonishing theatrical event that avoids portentousness, yet sparkles with polish, professionalism, and top-notch production values. And is deeply, darkly funny.
