Jason Hawkes :: The Usurpologists

Opening night :: Thursday 20th September 6 - 8pm

join 2 leading ursupologists on their quests to discover the secrets of the lost civilisations of bear kind. Join them as they trek through the jungles of South East Asia in search of clues which they hope will prove the existence of a mighty society built by bears for bears. Learn with the 2 ursupologists as they find out that their journey is more about learning about themselves and hardships that they encounter.

Fearless Nadia
Back in the 1930s the biggest name in Bollywood action was a girl named Fearless Nadia - although her parents knew her better as Perth-born Mary Evans. So how did this young, fair Australian lass end up as a Bollywood star? Witness the birth of Bollywood, accompanied by a new and completely original score by Ben Walsh (Tom Tom Crew) performed live by the Orkestra of the Underground. Watch a taste of her story here.
Peer Gynt
Direct from Korea, Yohangza Theatre Company return having impressed audiences with their highly original, award winning interpretations of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2007) and Hamlet (2010).  This time Yohangza presents a compelling and contemporary re-working of Ibsen’s Peer Gynt.  Peer Gynt is a character who runs from commitment, and who is completely selfish, having little concern for the sacrifices that others are forced to make in accommodating him. More info here.

OCTOBER
 :: Wednesday 3rd October - Wednesday 17th October ::
Ula Blocksage :: Fragments
Opening night :: Wednesday 3rd October
All I have are fragments, memories of times now past. Fleeting moments, which linger in my mind, wrestle inside me, isolate me, yet complete me. I did not and will not try to name you, though you will not let me be… There will come a time when you will disappear, and despite my better judgment, consumed with the need of your torment, I will go on searching for another you.
{Fragment,. noun, 1. a part broken off or detached, 2. an isolated, unfinished, or incomplete part}
