NIK RABINOWITZ LIVE IN MAURITIUS

PG16

Award-winning South African stand-up comedian makes his maiden Mauritian voyage this April with his new stand-up special Geriatric Millennial.

The show offers a laugh-a-minute brutally honest reflection on the absurdity of modern adulthood, midlife anxiety, and the increasingly blurry line between spiritual awakening and chronic back pain management / wondering if that knee thing is permanent – all filtered through the lens of a middle-aged Jewish South African comedian confronting mortality while doom-scrolling through the apocalypse.

“I’m at that beautiful intersection where I remember when the internet made sounds, but I also need a nap after scrolling,” says Rabinowitz. “I’m under-medicated, over-methylated, orthopaedically compromised, catastrophically sleep-deprived, and somehow still standing. Up. On stage. It’s basically a miracle.”

“Depending on how much the audience and I like each other on any given night, the show could run 70 minutes or 80,” Rabinowitz added. “I’m leaving room for healing. Or heckling. Whichever comes first.”

Rabinowitz is one of South Africa’s most celebrated stand-up comedians, known for his sharp wit, rapid-fire delivery, and ability to find humor in the uncomfortable corners of contemporary life. He has performed across five continents, from LA to Lagos, London to Langa, Sydney to Soweto, Edinburgh to eMalahleni, and according to him, “single-handedly healed the nation with jokes.” (The nation has not yet confirmed this claim.)

Geriatric Millennial marks his 16th solo show and is performed in English with a PG16 age restriction. Laugh until the apocalypse comes, the messiah comes back, or your back goes out.

Nik Rabinowitz is one of South Africa’s most celebrated stand-up comedians, known for his sharp wit, rapid-fire delivery, and multilingual social commentary.

A unique perspective, multilingual abilities (English, Afrikaans, and isiXhosa) and an ability to blend observational humor with cultural insider knowledge allows him to bridge cultural divides and connect with diverse audiences. This, coupled with his ability to be both provocative and warmly inclusive has earned him critical acclaim and a devoted following.

He’s performed internationally across five continents and produced sixteen one man stand-up specials.

Eric Triton, guitariste gaucher d’exception, a façonné son univers sonore unique en jouant sur une guitare de droitier aux cordes inversées. Cette approche singulière de son instrument incarne déjà sa philosophie : transformer les contraintes en créativité, refuser la conformité, inventer sa propre voie. Sa main gauche a créé une signature musicale reconnaissable entre mille, une preuve que la différence peut devenir force.

 

Sur scène, Eric Triton & Cool People United incarnent une nouvelle génération d’artistes conscients que la musique transcende le divertissement. Le partage devient acte créatif, le respect s’érige en fondation du collectif, la cohésion sociale se construit note après note, et l’unité se manifeste dans chaque accord. Car l’art, dans sa forme la plus authentique, est le vecteur universel de ces valeurs : il rassemble, il réconcilie, il inspire, il libère.

 

Ce concert n’est pas une célébration du passé, mais une invitation à bâtir l’avenir ensemble. C’est un appel à tous ceux qui croient que la culture, portée par des artistes engagés, peut réellement changer notre société. Sur la scène du Caudan Arts Centre, Eric Triton passe le flambeau avec générosité, transformant chaque spectateur en acteur de ce mouvement de transmission et de cohésion.

5 ETUDIANTS DE L’ATELIER MOZ’AR

Des sommets atteints par Marcel Proust à la décadence du Moulin Rouge, la Belle Époque (entre 1871 et 1914 approximativement) fut une période où la culture parisienne connut un essor sans précédent. Les salons parisiens devinrent des lieux où poètes, peintres et compositeurs se réunissaient pour partager leur art. La soprano française Laetitia Grimaldi et le pianiste sud-africain Ammiel Bushakevitz proposent un programme de chansons romantiques françaises, présenté dans le style d’un concert de salon parisien de la Belle Époque.

The HeART of Mauritius for Palestine

Mauritius is so much more than a beautiful tourist destination – at the heart of this island lives a community that cares and stands in solidarity. The true soul of this small island lies in its big heart. At its core there are people, local and foreign who truly care about the world, deeply affected by the injustices, genocides and ecocides occurring across our planet.

For example: the mother of one of the organisers passed away last year.  Bijou, a Mauritian artist painted boldly on oil, deeply inspired by women and nature. During her last days, her dying request was for her paintings to be sold to help women. And so, in the Morisyen spirit of this heART- filled event, we are now fulfilling that wish.

 

But long before this moment in time, before the escalation (since October 2023) of more than 75 years of ongoing injustice and genocide in Palestine, Mauritian citizens have been standing up for Palestine. One shining example is SOMALP (Solidarite Morisyen Ar Lepep Palestinn – Mauritians in Solidarity with the People of Palestine) – launched in 2020, continuously standing up for Palestine through various conferences, letters, direct actions, marches and cultural events. A year ago, on the 25^th of January along with an artist committee SOMALP organised a Zurne Artistik “Liber Palestinn” – Solidarite Kont Zenosid Israel-US bringing together over 50 Mauritian artists in solidarity with Palestine at the Cafe du Vieux Conseil. The first Palestinian film festival in Mauritius took place in 2015. Mauritians like Ragini Kisnasamy and Alain Ah Vee have even travelled as activists to march in Palestine. So today we stand on the shoulders of a Mauritian legacy of solidarity with Palestine among its people from all walks of life.

We ask that the government hears us Mauritian citizens and residents loud and clear and joins South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel for genocide as well as adhering to the ever-growing international BDS movement with concrete actions. We must remember that Gaza, the West Bank, Palestine are microcosms of a neocolonial world. Diego Garcia is linked to Palestine is linked to Congo to Sudan to Venezuela… and so we are all in this together, especially us citizens of the global south.

Never Again Olive Resistance, a proud member of SOMALP, is a mirror of Mauritian solidarity and caring. Barely a year old, with less than 10 members, but an ever-growing community and collaborators, we have already taken numerous activist actions including 10 direct artivist interventions and held five awareness and fund-raising events in solidarity with so much love — for Palestine, its people, its land. We will never stay silent. Never again is now.  Together we honour Palestinian culture and stand in true solidarity.

 Please join us! Free Palestine! Free us all!

Directors: Maurizio Benazzo & Zaya Benazzo

https://whereolivetreesweep.com/

 

If the olive trees knew the hands that planted them, their oil would become tears,”

— Mahmoud Darwish Palestinian poet & writer

 

This multi award winning docu-film offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo – two highly immensely talented film makers, give an outsider’s perspective nevertheless deeply connected to Palestinians. They offer a human look at life under Israeli occupation in the West Bank, focusing on trauma, resilience, and the fight for justice, through interviews with Palestinians like journalist Ashira Darwish and activist Ahed Tamimi, plus trauma expert Dr. Gabor Maté, a holocaust survivor himself and activist for Palestinian human rights. The cinematography is breathtaking in its poignant beauty. This film is powerful in its sensitivity and is an artistic triumph as well as being a strong truth-telling so necessary in our troubled times.

Film shorts in Kreol with English subtitles giving a short history on Palestine. Beginning before the creation of Israel, the films then give an insight into the Nakba – the catastrophe during which Zionist groups expelled 750,000 Palestinians from their homes. From this came the loss of Palestinian lands, and the ongoing siege, occupation and invasions, leading to the current genocide since 2023.  The final short explores how we as citizens of the world can support the Palestinian cause through boycotting and activism.

The melody and words of this song are an adaptation of a traditional Mauritian lullaby sung to all children on our islands and now, in spirit to all the children in Gaza, the West Bank…

 

The words of the poem, especially written in 2024, are also dedicated to all Palestinian children and their loved ones The names appearing on this video are only some of the names of the tens of thousands of children killed in the current genocide in Gaza since October 2023.

Franjo débarque pour la première fois à l’île Maurice !

Phénomène de la nouvelle génération d’humoristes révélés sur internet, Franjo s’est imposé comme l’un des talents les plus prometteurs de la scène française. Véritable acharné de travail, il a conquis les plateaux des plus grands comedy clubs parisiens – du Paname Art Café au Jamel Comedy Club, en passant par Le Point Virgule – avant de remplir le Trianon plusieurs mois d’affilée.

Son premier one-man-show, rôdé en première partie de Paul Mirabel, confirme son énergie débordante et son amour inconditionnel pour la scène. Sur scène, Franjo ose tout : il décortique l’absurdité du quotidien avec une liberté totale, improvise avec brio et multiplie les échanges complices avec son public. Résultat : une heure de rire sans filtre, où chaque spectateur devient acteur de l’expérience.

Si vous ne connaissez pas encore Franjo, sa chaîne YouTube est déjà un incontournable. Mais rien ne vaut l’intensité de le voir en live… et son premier passage à Maurice promet d’être pris d’assaut !

Franjo est un humoriste français originaire de Melun, révélé par ses vidéos virales sur les réseaux sociaux. Il s’est rapidement imposé sur les scènes parisiennes prestigieuses comme le Paname Art Café, le Jamel Comedy Club et Le Point Virgule, avant de remplir le Trianon plusieurs mois d’affilée.

Son style ? Un humour sans filtre, improvisé et interactif, où il décortique l’absurdité du quotidien avec une énergie débordante. Aujourd’hui, Franjo est l’un des talents les plus prometteurs du stand-up français, à découvrir absolument en live.

For their final performance, the adults of The School dive into the hilarious world of Georges Feydeau with An Absolute Turkey, a riotous French farce bursting with romantic mishaps and escalating chaos. Known for its quick pacing and comic precision, Feydeau’s work challenges actors to embrace numerous funny and absurd situations – all of which this ensemble takes on with enthusiasm. In this adaptation, several actors share the same roles, adding an extra layer of playfulness to the show.

Throughout the year, the adult cohort has explored a broad spectrum of theatre practice: bold improvised scenes, Shakespeare and dramatic literature, reflective social theatre pieces and intimate small-scale performances that have strengthened their craft.

They now bring all these skills together to experiment with a completely different style for their final performance through this spirited production.

Caudan Arts Centre proudly brings a bold new perspective to Shakespeare’s most celebrated tragedy, offering Mauritian audiences a renewed encounter with Hamlet, a play that, four centuries after it was written, continues to transcend time, cultures and generations. This 2026 adaptation preserves the classical beauty of Shakespeare’s original language while embracing a more contemporary staging, designed to open the doors of this iconic work to a wider and more diverse audience.

 

For the first time, Caudan Arts Centre presents a full Shakespearean production in English, taking on the challenge of the Bard’s longest and most complex play. The universal themes at the heart of Hamlet – conflict, power and corruption, appearance versus reality, and the burden of impossible choices – remain as relevant and compelling today as ever. By making these themes more explicit and accessible, this production aims to demystify Shakespeare and create a powerful, engaging theatrical experience for all.

 

This production seeks to offer students, educators, theatre-goers and first-time Shakespeare audiences alike an experience that is both immediate and enduring, delivering the emotional and intellectual impact that has made Hamlet a landmark of world literature.
