Created and performed by: Liezl De Kock, with Lexi Meier 

Directed by: Rob Murray

Piet se Optelgoed is a dark and brooding nightmare peppered with unexpected humour,  heart-breaking vulnerability and poignant humanity, told in the breathtaking visual style audiences have come to expect from Liezl de Kock. Gleefully deranged and a fringe dweller, Piet is at once a myth and a horror story told to children when they don’t behave.  Like a twisted pied piper, her lullaby calls weggooi-kinders from their beds to her kitchen; her hunger is insatiable. Piet se Optelgoed trawls the dark underbelly of society and the power and powerlessness of women in a warped comic broth of visual buffoonery.

Dark. Brooding. Ridiculously funny. Profoundly unsettling. Catch the mesmerising Liezl de Kock (Crazy in Love, Pictures of You) in her 2014 Standard Bank Silver Ovation and CT Fringe acclaimed show before it goes to Amsterdam.
