What's On

Two Blood
 

★★★★½ – Limelight Magazine
“electrifying” – InReview
“The seamless fusion of movement, music, film, image, and literal storytelling” – Broadway World

A Tagalaka woman and Cantonese man embark on a forbidden love affair forged in the flames of a burning country. Centuries later, their remains are discovered in a forever embrace, setting into motion a sprawling exploration of belonging and identity.

Created by visionary artists S. Shakthidharan (Counting and Cracking), Daniel Riley and Jasmin Sheppard, who has woven her own family history through the work, Two Blood sees Australian Dance Theatre (Marrow, Tracker) continue to break new ground with an intensely physical work, blending film, language, music and movement across borders, cultures and time.

    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 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.

    There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
  • Sheltering | Bangarra

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.
