KAMBAKHT ISHQ 2



The Melanie Kisten Dance Academy’s smash hit Kambakht Ishq is back and this time it’s a double dose of scintillating, mesmerizing, scorching and vibrant dances which comes to the Sibaya Casino’s iZulu Theatre for a short season of three performances from July 26 to 28.

Throw into the mix three friends with a knack for trouble, and the Midas touch for mischief, and you have Kambakht Ishq 2.

Conceived, produced and choreographed by the Melanie Kisten, Kambakht Ishq2 (loosely translated as “Damn Love”) tells the story of love, infidelity and reconciliation as lived by a host of distinctly Chatsworth characters complimented by dynamic and vibrant choreography.

Kambakht Ishq 2 is a slick musical born out of the story of three local men - Don, Kuberz and Tiny - who are lulled by the anguish that is their marriage. They find solace in card games where they meet and discuss their woes. These three friends are invited into the notion of debauchery by a fourth friend. This notion is accentuated by a chance meeting with a buxom babe the following day at a local park where the lads meet for lunch.

Kambakht Ishq 2 runs at the iZulu Theatre, Sibaya, on July 26 at 20h00, July 27 at 18h00 and July 28 at 15h00. Tickets start from R100 and booking is at Computicket.
