collection of raw and provocative pieces that reflect 'the spirit of our times'
– ZEITGEIST
25 June – 12 July 2008
Tues - Sat (7.30pm)
Extra show Sat 5th & 12th July (9.30pm)
Old Museum Building, Bowen Hills
Drawing
from critically acclaimed past productions Unleashed, Those with Lucifer and international
collaborations with American Band The Dresden Dolls, Zen Zen Zo Physical
Theatre will
present a ground-breaking exploration of the question: how do we as human
beings meet ourselves, each other, and the earth at the turn of the new
millennium?
Director
Lynne Bradley (Sub-Con Warrior 1, Wicked Bodies, Unleashed) promises a show that
is both a celebration of Zen Zen Zo's past Butoh works, and a debut for
exciting new choreography in a performance that explores 'the spirit of our
times'
“Zeitgeist weaves together the big issues of our age – global warming, terrorism,
spiritual apathy – with universal themes, myth and archetype. It is a kind of apocalyptic vision of our
future, realised through the maelstrom of 21 Butoh bodies on stage. “
Featuring twenty-one of Australia's finest physical
theatre performers, this Butoh-inspired performance will excite and challenge
the audience in Zen Zen Zo's trademark physical and visceral style.
Zeitgeist will be presented as part of Zen Zen Zo's
annual 'IN THE RAW Studio Season', a yearly event where the company can return
to its experimental roots, creating exciting new work in non-traditional
theatre spaces.
Notorious for their innovative, shocking and visually striking
performance style, Zen Zen Zo has captivated audiences for the past 16 years in
countless sell-out seasons in Brisbane, Japan, Singapore and Hong-Kong. Zeitgeist looks to be no
exception with tickets already in high demand.
