PACT Salon: Desire Lines
 

PACT Centre for Emerging Artists will present an inspired new showcase of performance, theatre and art in PACT Salon: Desire Lines on Saturday 24th February.

Taking inspiration from the uncertain nature of performance itself, the first PACT Salon event for 2018 will be presented by Desire Lines, an art series established by emerging curators and artists Sebastian Henry-Jones and Maeve Parker.

Adopting the format of a walking tour, PACT Salon: Desire Lines will take audiences on a guided journey between performances, installations and sonic experiences, each designed to interrogate ideas of authenticity, memory and spectatorship.

This curated collection of diverse acts aims to playfully challenge the audience’s experience of each work by blurring the lines between performance, art and space.

PACT Salons are one-night-only mini festivals showcasing eclectic new works by some of Sydney’s most compelling emerging performance, visual and media artists. Salons are where performance, party and critical dialogue collide to form a unique interactive experience.

Curated By: Desire Lines

Performers: Al Joel and collaborators, Aaron Chen, Austin Buckett, Megan Hanson, Emily Parsons-Lord, Leila Rayes, Luigi Vescio and Get To Work.

PACT Salon: Desire Lines is proudly supported by the City of Sydney through the Cultural Grants Program and Create NSW.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
