Dimanche uses physical theatre to tell a dreamlike story about the uncontrollable forces of nature. Combining puppetry, video and deadpan mime, Dimanche observes the ingenuity of humans as they try to preserve their day-to-day habits despite the chaos of an ecological collapse.
Robyn Archer — icon, legend of the Australian stage, and provocateur — has thrilled audiences with her rich renditions of the great songbooks of Europe and America. Now, Robyn turns her distinctive and fearless talents to songs that describe the difficult, wonderful place that is Australia. From the music of her upbringing to increasingly complex rhythms and cadences of the present, we are taken on a journey into our beauty and our terror, through song. After this show, you’ll hear our country through very different ears. A trio of Australia’s finest stage musicians join Robyn as the Belvoir stage becomes a cabaret: piano accordion virtuoso George Butrumlis, actor and multi-instrumentalist Cameron Goodall on guitar, and the very deft Enio Pozzebon on keyboards.
OnSTAGE is a presentation of exemplary performances and projects by HSC Drama students.
