Cape dance pick: December 2 2011

The Cape Dance Company ­presents a repertoire of ­neo­classical ballets in a programme that includes two works by acclaimed American ­choreographer Christopher L ­Huggins: the premiere of When Dawn Comes and a ­restaging of the Enemy Behind the Gates, a ­confrontational work created in a ­militarist style, with haunting images and ­striking costumes.

Also on the menu is David Krugel’s The Nature of Being and Michelle Reid’s God’s Waiting Room, which ponders the question: “What happens at the exact moment of death when the spirit leaves the body?”

Main Theatre, Artscape Theatre Centre, Foreshore, until December 11. Book at ­Computicket. Website: www.artscape.co.za.
