Who we are

History

Flying Pigs is owned and run by two award winning and multi nominated professional performers - Jürgen Hellberg and Shireen Hollier. Both Graduated from The Pretoria Technikon School of Performing Arts in 1984 with a National Diploma in Drama. Together they have over 60 years joint experience in professional Film, Theatre & TV.

In May 2000 - whilst still pursuing their solo careers - they formed Hellberg / Hollier Productions and went into business, focusing on theatre as a brand communications tool. A few months later they changed their name to Flying Pigs; because it's a cool and fun name, and because they're always out to achieve the impossible. Since then they have built up an impressive resumè, working with many high powered clients.
