Out Of Africa

Event Date: 14/10/2022, 08:00 pm

Joyful, musical, energetic story-telling for Sydney season
Zimbabwe-born singer-actor Tarisai Vushe, dancer Emilia Nwakpa, and rapper and poet Samuel Barrie, debut the power-packed musical about their amazing lives at the Seymour Centre Sound Lounge in October.
They’re supported by Kenneth Tusubira (dance, drums) & Jonathan Chaga (keyboard).

Co-written with Playscript’s Geoffrey Sykes, Out of Africa is a celebration of their shared journeys from African villages to suburban Sydney!

In an exciting collage of traditional African and modern Australian song, dance, storytelling, rap, legend, comedy and more, their inspiring migrant stories will entrance audiences.
Along the way audiences are invited to share visions of Africa’s past and Australia’s present – with dramatic differences… as well as some surprising common ground - along the way!
Tarisai Vushe has had an outstanding career as singer since arriving in Australia 20 years ago.
She’s featured on TV (including Australia's Got Talent), in lead roles in touring musicals,
including in the Lion King and Madiba (Mandela) and, most recently, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

She is joined by rap artist and poet Samuel Barrie, and accomplished dancer Emilia Wakpa, and supported by talented Ugandan-born Kenneth Tusubira with drums and dance, acclaimed Zimbabwean keyboard player Jonathan Chagaresango and accomplished dancer Emilia Wakpa.

A Few Things That Happened On The Way To ...

Event Date: 11/10/2022, 06:30 pm

Being loved? Sounds fucking terrifying.
This dark comedy follows Annie as she beautifully, hilariously, and tragically negotiates the possibility of being pregnant for the second time in her life.

Waiting for her pregnancy test timer to go off, Annie has no idea what she is supposed to be feeling, but she is almost certain that what she is feeling isn’t just bloating from the pizza she had for breakfast.

In these ‘three minutes’, Annie is transported to the first time she thought she might have been pregnant and finds she has no choice but to finally confront the painful experiences she’s been through ‘on the way to now’.

Here, now, the second time, Annie is in a fairytale relationship with Freddie: a man who finds a way to say ‘I fucking adore you’ through only his smile and Annie finds herself realising that maybe, just maybe, love isn’t meant to hurt.

Maybe love is meant to feel good after all.

A brand new Shakespeare play made up on the (damn) spot!
Soothplayers improvise an hilarious new Shakespearean play from nothing but a suggested title from the audience. No plans. No scripts. They guarantee you will laugh or your money back. Really!

Comedy? Tragedy? History? From star-crossed lovers to sword-crossed duels and cross-eyed fools, Soothplayers provide everything that four centuries of theatre-goers know and love, completely on the damned spot! Did you hate Shakespeare in school? Shake off your trauma: this ain’t Year 10 English! The show is fast-paced and action-packed, promising laughs and gasps for Bard lovers and haters alike.

Soothplayers have received rave reviews for Completely Improvised Shakespeare. Each performance is a completely new work, using Shakespearean language, themes and style. Even the musical accompaniment is completely improvised!

Sounds impossible, right? The cast includes veterans of the Australian Shakespeare Company as well as Melbourne’s premier improvisation troupes, including The Improv Conspiracy, Impro Melbourne, and The Big HOO-HAA!. They deliver a high-quality, hilarious show that is guaranteed to be unlike anything else you will see this Festival!

This show sells out so dear groundlings, off to the ticket-monger with thee!

Sonder

Event Date: 07/10/2022, 06:00 pm

We are dancers with Down syndrome. We have vivid & complex stories to tell. Watch. Listen. Realise.
Performed by: the emotion21 dancers

Directed by: Tristan Sinclair

Dramaturg: Jamie Haliday

Sonder is the realisation that each passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. How well do you know someone with Down syndrome? Have you underestimated what we can do?

We are dancers with Down syndrome and we eagerly invite you to get to know us, and to discover what we can do!

SONDER is a bombastic dance show that challenges long-held ideas and values around what it means to have a disability. We will help you see the person, not just the label of our disability. It is a joyous, unexpected and entertaining dance performance co-created and entirely performed by a magnificent cast of 24 dancers with Down syndrome.

We invite you to journey with us as we share some of our unique experiences of living in this world; we hope that by sharing it will help us become more accepted as artists. You will leave with a full heart and an enlightened mind.
