Are the wedding bells ringing or are they chiming? Koek and Tert stand on the eve of the big day, each in a white dress. They are caught up in mothers-in-law, kitchen teas, pumpkin fritters, flower arrangements and pre-marital counselling. The lists have now been ticked off and the life path mapped. Is it normal to feel this warm on a cool spring evening? There is a knock at the door. It’s Adriaan. Two wedding dresses, one groom, but only one bride will be walking down the aisle tomorrow. Trou Koek/Tert is an astute exploration of social values around relationships, marriage and expectations.
