About 2 weeks to the opening of Adelaide Festival, considered one of the major arts festivals in the world. This year's Festival will run from 28 Feb to 16 Mar. In addition to performing arts, the festival will also feature visual art and literary arts events. A fringe festival will also run parallel to it.
Notable performances in the first part of the festival would be Director Ivo Van Hove's Roman Tragedies, a trilogy of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra as a sprawling and immersive multimedia spectacular. At 6 hours, the audience would be part of the action while on stage with the actors.
Another interesting production would be SKaGen's Bigmouth. From the write-up: "With five microphones and unrelenting energy, Valentijn Dhaenens celebrates 2500 years of oration in a tour de force one-man performance. From Socrates to Bin Laden, victory speeches to eulogies and the rousing to the frankly inept, the most memorable addresses in history are woven together to create a thrilling and powerful oratory rollercoaster..."
Australia would be represented in theatre with a collaboration with Portugal company in a performance called Blackout, Windmill Theatre's Girl Asleep, and State Theatre of South Australia's The Seagull.
Interesting theatre programme for the Adelaide Festival. More information on the Festival and other programmes: http://www.adelaidefestival.com.au/
