A QUIET PLACE TO ARGUE (1).jpg

A Festival that turn up the Heat on the arts scene, not the planet

As humanity’s (often contentious) relationship with the natural world, particularly against a backdrop of climate change and threats of mass extinctions, increases in relevance, so too does it become a more pressing topic for artists.

The new HEAT Arts Festival wakes up Cape Town this winter

Crystal speaks to the Founder of the new HEAT Arts Festival, Mary Corrigall. They’ll be putting on 12 days of activities, including opera performances, a theatre programme, and even Angolan salsa classes to entice you out to combat the winter blues. The festival runs from 11 to 21 July in the city centre.
