Walking through this landscape they pause at destinations from Spain to Swellendam, Bach to Bothaville, Mexico to Mondeor and Bethlehem to Bethlehem in the Free State. The 90-minute show is a celebration of hope, happiness, heritage and history - all facilitated by playing, joking, stories and reflection.
