Universe On Stage brings ‘Hidden Giants’ to Cape Town
After more than 30 sold-out shows in Johannesburg, Hidden Giants — the immersive science-meets-music experience by Universe On Stage — lands in Cape Town from 11 to 14 December.
Created by physicist Dr Luca Pontiggia and composer-actuary Yasheen “Yash” Modi, the 90-minute show blends cinematic visuals, original live music and accessible storytelling to explore the mysteries of black holes and the human ingenuity that allowed us to capture the first image of one.
Audiences at The Star Theatre in the Homecoming Centre will journey across galaxies through high-impact projections and sensory sound design that transforms complex science into emotion, curiosity and wonder. Perfect for families, science lovers, creatives and anyone on a night out, Hidden Giants offers a rare fusion of entertainment and discovery.
Tickets range from R260 to R540 via Webtickets, with discounts for children, students and groups.

For the next few weekends, the Sky Lounge at The Reef Hotel in Marshalltown comes alive with the soulful sound of Mosax — the Pretoria saxophonist whose blend of R&B, soul, jazz, Afrobeat and classical influences has earned him acclaim across the continent.
Born in Lagos and trained at Peter King College of Music, Mosax delivers expressive, crowd-connecting performances shaped by improvisation, rich musicality and the rhythmic spirit of Fela Kuti. Guests can catch him every Friday and Saturday from 5pm, where he performs three 45-minute sets of beloved standards against sweeping views of the Joburg CBD.
It’s an ideal sundowner outing, offering music, skyline ambience and the hotel’s weekend accommodation specials. Whether you’re a jazz lover or seeking an atmospheric night out, Mosax promises a warm, melodic experience.
