Fox Monkey Baa

Saw new production from Monkey Baa, a music theatre piece called Fox.

Found it extremely frustrating as we found it very hard to understand the words, sung in operatic style.

However, Arran is now hooked on first nights, where you get free food and drinks - awesome!

Easter Show Motox

These guys were pretty amazing, was also quite taken with the fact that this video was taken on my mobile phone - Nokia N97 mini - not bad for a phone camera.

VIDEO: Bliss and Joy

Saw the new production of Bliss by Opera Australia. Still not quite convinced that an opera was the best choice for this book, but hey, always good to see a new Australian production.

Gethsemane

I have to admit that it did bring to mind Lucy Guerin's work - Untrained, where professional dancers are juxtaposed against non-dancers. Martin moves beautifully.

Conceived and composed by Gerard Brophy, Gethsemane refers to the place where Christ faces the realization of his imminent death. Using the traditional Jeremiah lamentations, as well as contemporary accounts of life on the streets of Calcutta today, this major new work interweaves music, spoken word and ritualized movement. In the wake of the memorable Tenebrae and Visitatio productions, Gethsemane represents a new and timeless meditation on poverty, abandonment and compassion.
