Mzansi Fela Festival - South African State Theatre, Pretoria

The Mzansi Fela Festival is an annual cultural festival held at the South African State Theatre in Pretoria, Gauteng. Established to celebrate and showcase the richness and diversity of South African performing arts, the festival typically takes place in December and runs for several weeks. It features a wide range of artistic performances, including theatre, dance, music, poetry, and visual arts, creating a platform for both established and emerging artists to showcase their talents.

The festival was created as a response to the need for a space that celebrates African culture and the arts, especially highlighting the works of South African artists. The name "Mzansi Fela" itself reflects the festival's commitment to South African heritage—"Mzansi" being a colloquial term for South Africa and "Fela" meaning "only" or "simply" in isiZulu. The event has become a highlight on the arts calendar, drawing large crowds from across the country and giving a voice to new and dynamic South African talent.

The Mzansi Fela Festival is known for its exciting lineup of performances. Theatre enthusiasts can expect thought-provoking dramas, comedies, and musicals, often focusing on social and political themes relevant to contemporary South Africa. Music lovers are treated to a diverse range of genres, including jazz, Afro-pop, gospel, and traditional music. Dance is another highlight, with performers showcasing everything from contemporary moves to traditional African dances. The festival also includes poetry slams, film screenings, and art exhibitions, making it a comprehensive cultural event.

One of the festival’s main objectives is to promote the development of young and upcoming artists, providing them with the opportunity to perform on a professional stage and gain exposure. Workshops, panel discussions, and mentorship programs are often part of the festival, aimed at nurturing new talent and encouraging the growth of the arts industry in South Africa.

The festival takes place at the South African State Theatre, which is the largest theatre complex in Africa and is itself a cultural landmark. The venue provides a world-class setting for the performances, with multiple stages and facilities that accommodate both intimate shows and large productions.
