Each year, as part of Sydney festival, Carriageworks hosts a series of affordable performances that are about an hour long. From theatre to dance, hip hop, music, or an experimental combination of genres, the shows are funny, provocative or just plain unconventional.
This year Stephanie Lake Company has collaborated with Robin Fox to present Double Blind, a new choreographic work that explores the perils of obedience. In Forced Entertainment’s Tomorrow’s Parties, directed by Tim Etchells, two performers compete in a thought-provoking game of one-upmanship, while This Is How We Die traverses tales of paranoia, young love and ultra–violence.
In Between Two sees spoken-word artist Joelistics and James Magohig create an original soundtrack of original and electronic music, and Yudai Kamisato explores the resilience of culture for those living in foreign lands in +51 Aviacion.
Classical tight-rope walker Sébastien Le Guen goes toe to toe with musician and long-time collaborator Jérôme Hoffman to create Fall, fell, fallen; and the Sydney Chamber Orchestra transform 21 of Friedrich Nietzsche’s poems into a series of inspired musical declarations by French composer Pascal Dusapin in O Mensch!
