Amanda Strydom: The Incredible Journey of Tinkerbell van Tonder

WITH Amanda Strydom and Coenraad Rall (piano) SCRIPT AND PRODUCER Amanda Strydom MUSIC DIRECTOR Coenraad Rall

The story of an orphan’s incredible journey. The child’s name was Isabella Dolorosa van Tonder, but her Granny called her Tinkerbell. She was mailed from one place to another like a letter, finally learning about her origins and the history of her people. Amanda Strydom as Nella Petersen is the narrator of this modern fairy tale with many twists. Jo-Ann Floris writes in her review for Ink during the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees in 2024:The Incredible Journey of Tinkerbell van Tonder shows Strydom’s versatility as a singer, actress and writer. She makes it sound believable that a white woman plays a brown woman. Strydom interprets all of this masterfully, while deftly weaving through the characters. Strydom’s experience and sensitivity towards the characters, the voice she gives them, is triumphant.”

Awarded the Woordtrofee for Best Performance: Contemporary Music – Solo/Duo at the Toyota Stellenbosch Woordfees (2024).
