Grommels

Presenting award winning children's theatre, Grommels!

A big grey wall surrounds a small grey world. Colour is just a memory… a dream. This is the world of Bluegrommel and Yellowgrommel – the last two colours left.

Yellowgrommel catches sunlight. Bluegrommel catches rain. Until a day arrives that is unlike any other Grommel day…

What happens when the wall between us starts to turn? What happens when opposites truly find each other, in a moment of magic?

Join us on a playful journey of discovery where beauty and joy is found in quiet simplicity, and where nature’s hopeful colours can grow again…

If you just open your eyes.

Without saying a word, the Grommels seek to rekindle connection between one another and the natural world, leaving audiences with a lasting sense of curiosity, playfulness and wonder.

Grommels grew out of a process-driven collaboration between Angelique Filter and Robert Hindley, with its debut at KKNK in 2025, where it received a Kanna Award for Best Children’s Theatre. It was further honoured with an Ovation Award at the National Arts Festival. The Grommels have also toured to Woordfees, Aardklop and the Vrystaat Kunstefees, and are hoping to see more of the world in 2026.
