When @baked_shakespeare invited us to interview them before their show at @theoutlorebase last year, my Capetonian bragging rights came into question. I pride myself on knowing my way around the city, and and sure I knew Hout Street, but I had never heard of this place before. And when I found the address, I barely recognised the nondescript black gate that led up a flight of stairs to the Base itself.
Yet again the Mother City had chosen to surprise me with a hidden gem, and along I went down (or rather, up) the rabbit hole to discover a new world of activity, a creative hub which opens its doors to all and sundry to experience performance art as you could not conceive before.
We sat down with @tamejen and @theungratefulgargoyle to delve into the lore behind @theoutlore theatre company and how their search for a space to flourish led to nurturing a space for creatives of all kinds to gather.

DEARLY BELOVED: A KIKI FUNCTION
Prism invites you into a ceremony of remembrance, expression, and transformation.
This is not a funeral as you know it.
This is ballroom.
A space where grief becomes performance,
mourning becomes beauty
and presence becomes power.
Curated by the House of Indecency, this function explores death, memory and transcendence through the lens of Cape Town’s Kiki scene.
Come dressed in reverence.
Come ready to feel.
Come to celebrate life.
