The new confronting theatre piece from Henry Naylor brings multiple stories together at a sharp intersection, forming a wedge which drives home an intense and emotional conclusion for political issues in the Middle East. His scenes bring a levity to the proceedings, but also build the ideological framework upon which the narrative rests.

The Musical Manganiyar Acclaimed Indian director Roysten Abel returns to WOMADelaide from Rajasthan’s Thar Desert for four nights of folk music; he tells us about the connection between music and social class

Cover Feature

How did The Manganiyar Seduction come into being?

“Over a decade ago in a medieval town in Spain I had a couple of Manganiyar musicians in a show.

The show was only on in the evening, and during the rest of the day they would follow me around and sing. This went on for about 15 days before I went to Germany for another play, and it really hit me. I missed the music, this visceral experience that I just had to translate into some kind of theatre. It took me from a low point of my life, and threw me up into a place with no gravity. That’s what I want to do with this show, a combination of audio and visual arranged in such a way that it picks you up and throws you into space. It is an experiential narrative.”

8

Who are the Manganiyar?

“They must have come into the courts around 300-400 years ago – but even before then they were a caste of musicians. Still today they sing for their wealthy patrons. They also know the genealogy of their patrons going back 300-400 years. The Manganiyar can tell [the patron] who his father was, his father’s father, and his grandad’s grandad. They’ll do it on special occasions – a dissertation for the patron who themselves won’t know the full history – and they’ll do it all orally from memory with no notes.”

You have directed a number of shows featuring musician castes, from the Sapera snake charmers to the Ambalavasi Nambiar drummers. Can you explain the connection between one’s caste and music?

“The things that attract me are not the caste but the music: the sound of the pipe when the charmers are charming, the sound of the drummers drumming.

They just have a history that is of a caste. India is the four castes: the learned, the priest, the warriors, and the untouchables. Then there were the subcastes, and there were roles that were filled by each caste. Division of labour and the arts, it just happened. Other people try to learn the Manganiyar music, but the real Manganiyar, they really sing. I just love the concept, it being intergenerational - each generation introduced something different. Older singers had their style and their understanding, while the younger generation have different life experiences and are trying to see the way the world is going. But in the end there is a kind of unification in the quality of music.”

Last year you brought the younger generation to WOMADelaide in The Manganiyar Classroom. What expectation is there on the children of today for them to continue the musical tradition of their ancestors?

“A lot of them are actually children of The Manganiyar Seduction performers. There is no expectation put

on them to continue the music now. The expectation is for them to study and get a model life, to become doctors, engineers, get a government job. All of them are encouraged to take the secure way out, that’s all they’ve been told by the government. Get education, get education, get education. Try and be something.

It is a very generic thing. The education system is the same for everybody, and these extremely talented children end up being neither here nor there. They lose what they have and can’t offer what they have to offer. But that’s my dream and my project: to try and get a state of the art school with the music as well for the Manganiyar children. These kids are the first generation school goers of the Manganiyar.”

“ Music is just beyond boundaries of any caste, any other bullshit” Is the influence of the caste system fading away?

Are the people of India more open to experimenting with musical styles from other castes?

“The caste system is not fading away. It is getting more and more pronounced now – the whole thing

is very right-wing. Everybody is trying to assert their caste because the world is getting polarised, however, the professions within the caste are more digressed. Things are opening up in music. In the end it is not so much about the caste as it is about the father to the children, which is the first teacher-student relationship. That’s how the musical tradition gets carried over intergenerationally. People go over to other music, they go over to contemporary stuff. It’s a good mix of modern influence, Western influence, and a feeling of wanting to discover what we have traditionally. There is that inquisitive search happening, how to arrive with the new sound.”

Do you see anything similar to India’s musician castes in the relationship between music and social class in other countries?

“I do see it. For instance, the Gypsy music in Eastern Europe and in France, played by the Gypsy peoples.

But music per se is just beyond boundaries of any caste, any other bullshit. Once it is music and musicians it is just that, there’s nothing else. Just musicians having fun.” ✏︎ Max Oprey VENUE: TIME: TICKETS:

Stage to Screen and Back Again Fleabag is now best known as the BAFTA Award-winning BBC and Amazon series, but it started life as a one-woman theatre show. That show continues its run to Adelaide this Fringe, with Maddie Rice taking centre stage

Features

“I

10

went to see it in Edinburgh, just as a normal person, without knowing anything about the show or about Phoebe [Waller-Bridge, the show’s creator], and I loved it,” says Maddie Rice, star of the new one woman production of Fleabag. “I thought it was so funny, and so tragic, and I remember thinking at the time ‘I’d love to play a role like that’ because it felt so rare to see a woman speaking like that on stage.”

Fleabag is a dark comedy centred around a young woman known by the same name. Not afraid to say or do what she wants, Fleabag is angry, honest, crude, sex-positive and hilarious. She’s dealing with a fractured relationship, the grief of losing her mother and best friend, and the constant grind of living in a city as ridiculously expensive and cruel as London. Sometimes she just wants to unwind by masturbating to YouTube clips of Obama’s speeches.

Asking Rice about the differences between the stage and TV shows she speaks about the strength of Waller-Bridge’s writing to translate to both forms, particularly in moments where Fleabag speaks directly to the audience.

“I remember when the TV show came out, thinking it’s amazing that [Waller-Bridge] can achieve this

without that direct audience reaction straight away.”

It’s this connection between Fleabag and the audience that is at the heart of the show. The ability for the audience to see and hear a woman being vulnerable, saying things that we do or think but rarely say out loud. This is what excites Rice so much about the role, and gives her the energy to perform it night after night.

“ You get to have a real slice of a human woman’s life, rather than some sort of poetic portrayal of a woman” “I think the biggest thing is that it feels like a great opportunity for an actress to play a character that’s real, and it’s not a girlfriend or some male-gaze smaller role. It’s a very flawed, very real, very funny and very sad character, and you get to see her on a big journey. I think it’s just so exciting because parts like this don’t come around very often, and they should.”

fest-mag.com

In the last episode of the TV series, Fleabag says: “You know, everyone feels like this a little bit, and they’re just not talking about it, or I’m completely fucking alone which isn’t fucking funny.” It’s this honesty and reflection of women’s lives that connects with audiences, according to Rice. “[Fleabag] shows a woman who is struggling with grief and depression and living this mad sort of life in a city where you can’t afford anything and you feel really lonely and no one is there. But she’s using this power over men to try and save herself, and so when you’re watching her you suddenly see that it’s an option for us and a way to protect ourselves like, ‘yeah, I’m fucking everyone’ or ‘yeah, leave me alone’, but actually it’s really sad and that shouldn’t be the only way to feel powerful or protect yourself.

“What makes it so exciting and why you go and tell all your friends to go and see it, is that there’s not really a lot of other theatre that’s like this. There’s an element of standup to it – it’s a character sitting down on stage telling you a story, but that story has numerous jokes in it that take you down twists and turns you don’t really expect.”

It’s a form of theatre making that’s slowly becoming more common – work that acts as a push-back on outdated stereotypes and heteronormative roles that young women don’t necessarily see themselves conforming to.

“Before Fleabag, Bitch Boxer and Chewing Gum, I think people saw one-woman shows as quite stuffy, and old-wave feminist scary things, but this has made them really exciting and popular because you get to have a real slice of a human woman’s life, rather than some sort of poetic portrayal of a woman.”

Rice says that “when you come to see the play, even if you’ve seen the TV show, it will still surprise you and it will still take you on a journey.” Regardless of the form, the heart of the show remains the same.

“It makes you feel seen, and it makes you feel encouraged to be honest,” says Rice. “Because you really realise that you’re not on your own and you’re not completely weird. We’re all the same.” ✏︎ Kylie Maslen VENUE: TIME: TICKETS:

The Garden of Unearthly Delights 7pm, 27 Feb-18 Mar, not Mondays $25-35

Parked in a CBD lane behind the Myer Centre, Davina Wright and Xavier O’Shannessy are scouting locations for Dion, which will invite audiences into the back of a Honda Jazz as it drives around the ‘weird hidden spots’ of Adelaide

I

t’s certainly among the more unusual venues this Fringe, though for Davina Wright it feels perfect.

“The sound system, the control, it works for me like a really traditional theatre space,” says the writer and director, who also performs in and produces Dion from the driver’s seat.

Alongside Wright, there are six other actors, including Xavier O’Shannessy. As the car moves around Adelaide, brief scenes play out around the car and everything is so tightly choreographed that something as simple as getting stuck in traffic can throw all the timing off. When asked about the logistics of staging the show, they respond in unison that it’s “a nightmare.”

“ When you get really sad and your life is tossed up in the air so much, you start seeing shit again” Features

Residents, workers and people enjoying a night out on the town live out their lives around the audience and performers, so the show necessarily has to have a somewhat improvisatory nature. In Melbourne they’ve had to deal with being locked

Dion by Gold Satino

in a car park, drunk passers-by trying to join the performance and factory workers timing their breaks to watch one of the racier scenes.

Wright and O’Shannessy describe Dion variously as “an extremely well-oiled machine” and “an easily unravelled tapestry.”

Where exactly in Adelaide the venue will be driving is still being decided, but the narrative will have much the same shape as when Dion won the Best Performance award at the Melbourne Fringe in 2016.

“For me, it’s kind of simple,” explains Wright. “The audience gets into the car and the starting point is a breakup. The opening narration is a bitter poem to my ex-girlfriend. It’s over the speakers so there’s nothing spoken in the car at all. And then it’s just taking the audience on this journey of what happens when you start looking around you. When you get really sad and your life is tossed up in the air so much, you start seeing shit again.”

During February and March, if you walk the streets of the East End it’s sometimes hard to tell who’s performing and who’s watching. For O’Shannessy, that’s the perfect environment in which to experience Dion. “What we really like is when the audience starts to question what has been planned and what’s just weird shit that just happens.” ✏︎ Alexis

hysical comedy is breaking into a world of its own in festivals across the world. Many are graduates of L’École Philippe Gaulier in Paris, including the four below. Although a performance school, there are no auditions as Gaulier himself believes “the role of the teacher is to change the person, not to judge them.”

So what makes a clown a clown? According to Tom Walker, self confessed ‘Good Comedian’, “if you’re not funny, you’re not a clown. A clown is anyone who’s an idiot and people love them for it.” Although there are many clowning categories, an overarching and necessary trait seems to be a self-acknowledgement on stage, or as Walker describes it, “you need to acknowledge that you did something stupid. You present a dumb idea knowing that it’s dumb.”

Delving into the far reaches of physical absurdism, Walker describes his show as being a “scheduled, semi-profitable breakdown – mental and otherwise.” The show is about nothing – “fucking around is pretty much all I do. It’s funny and nothing else, it has no poetic effect on the world, it’s a pure release.” Walker revels in the physical nature of his comedy, as he believes it to be “one of the purest ways of comedy. There are fewer things funnier than someone moving in a funny way. Everyone uses it – including standup comedians,

Maggot

even the least theatrical ones. Physical comedy forces you to be punchy and clear.”

“ Fucking around is pretty much all I do” – Tom Walker Likewise, fellow Gaulier graduate Luke Nowell uses physical comedy to “ignite pure idiocy out of nowhere,” and present the beautiful nature of being not quite normal. And those red wigs and oversized shoes? “Often when I think of or see these classic images of clown... I gag, I gag a little bit of my soul up and then I feel less human. These traditional faÇades can come across heavy and vulgar. They can be insensitive, not human and we can find it difficult to connect with them.” Although these techniques are a far cry from his current work, Nowell still harnesses “the fundamental and primal principle; that of being an idiot. Or that of childlike freedom, being charming and making the bad look good.”

Nowell presents an interesting dichotomy within the aims of his show. “It’s an escape, but it’s also a time to engage. I remember being young watching performers of a similar ilk and being so inspired and mesmerised – I aim to provide that same inspiration.”

Both Nowell and Walker exist on stage in direct reflection of their audiences. Walker describes his

Adelaide show as being “in a state of flux. The show changes night to night. You have to give yourself time to fail, become irate and then work hard to avoid it happening again.” Nowell modifies his show to “follow the agenda of the audience, adapting my idiot ideas as I go. We aren’t aiming for any particular results or expectations – it’s purely exploration and fantasy for its own sake. That is precisely why it is play. Thus, it carries the message of play, vulnerability and what it means to be human.”

New Zealand trio Angela Fouhy, Freya Boyle, and Elle Wootton work with Australian clown Kimberley Twiner in Maggot – a show which Fouhy describes as “idiotic, absurdist, off-chain fun.” The uniqueness of the crowd interaction in particular is what really interests Fouhy. “Unlike opera, or musical theatre, clowning is directly to the audience,” she says. “There is no fourth wall. It is a very sweet interaction between performer and audience that brings instant joy.”

Studying at Gaulier was a hugely important stage of Fouhy’s development as a clown and performer. “I think now I am more aware of the different ways you can have fun on stage,” she says. “It was great being exposed to so many performers at that school.”

Viggo Venn, “a clown, improviser and full-time Norwegian,” performs solo in Pepito, and with fellow Gaulier graduate Zach Zucker in the international smash hit Zach & Viggo. This year, however, Zucker is sitting the Australian circuit out with a shoulder injury, so Pepito is taking the limelight.

ber-grinned” style, uses his physical comedy to “go straight for the belly laughs that make absolutely no sense and rock your entire system.

“There are lots of feelings/ideas that can’t be articulated through words and are better communicated through images and shapes,” says Venn. “Jokes are good for releasing basic tension but when you dip into physical comedy it allows the audience to feel it throughout their whole body.” The take home message from Venn?

Under-representation of culturally, linguistically and racially diverse Australians in the arts is an issue that Diversity Arts Australia (DARTS) attempts to combat, as executive director Lena Naklous tells us

D

iverse Screens is DARTS’ latest foray into increasing visibility of culturally diverse Australian People of Colour in film. This year, Adelaide will have the opportunity to share in these experiences, and for some, finally find themselves reflected in films that position People of Colour in powerful leading roles.

“ Why don’t we ask culturally diverse filmmakers to articulate issues... on their own terms?”

Executive director of DARTS, Lena Nahlous, pointedly speaks on the importance of cultural diversity, stating that “art and creativity are how we see ourselves reflected in the world and they often reflect our identity and who we are. To not see yourself represented renders you invisible or can make it appear that you’re not part of a culture or not relevant to a culture that you’re a part of, and that’s really problematic.”

DARTS commissioned four filmmakers of diverse backgrounds to each create a short film relat-

ing to the experiences of culturally and linguistically diverse Australians. Ali Mousawi, Maria Tran, Roxie Vuong, and Thuy Nguyen were chosen to explore their personal and shared experiences through a film genre of their choice, which resulted in a motley assortment of documentary and comedic mockumentary. The films tackle serious issues such as the dehumanisation of asylum seekers in Australia, typecasting and ethnic stereotyping, white-washing in the arts sector, and the marginalisation and exclusion of People of Colour in the arts and similarly creative fields.

The filmmakers were granted unconstrained freedom to express their narrative and creativity by not being limited to a singular topic or genre, only to adhere to the umbrella themes of “diversity, access and inclusion.” This, Nahlous says, was an executive decision to ensure the voices of these four creatives were being amplified.

“One of the reasons we did Diverse Screens was to position artists themselves as advocates for change,” sais Nahlous. “We devised the project with the idea that rather than us telling you what the issues were, [we thought] why don’t we ask culturally diverse filmmakers to articulate issues around inclusion, exclusion, cultural diversity, the arts, and their experiences through film on their own terms?”

Ali Mousawi’s Beyond Christmas Island, Maria Tran’s The Subtractor, Roxie Vuong’s Act Now, and Thuy Nguyen’s Against the Grain highlight the subversive power of cultural visibility, and the importance of equity through the representation of People of Colour through film. ✏︎ Letti Koutsouliotas-Ewing

Self-expression, acceptance, music, theatre, and dance come together in the South Australian premiere of YUMMY

offered audiences is a wider platform to experience the positive social impact of diversity as well as the accessibility of self-expression. Queens of all genders the world over have worked too hard at their craft to be typecast as merely men in wigs.

Welsby will be joined on the Adelaide circuit by a world-class ensemble of Melbourne-based creative professionals, some whom are similarly decorated – aside from the obvious lycra and tulle – with accolades of artistic acknowledgment.

Among the troupe are dancer and choreographer Benjamin Hancock, recipient of the 2017 Australian Dance Award and Green Room award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Dancer; outspoken newwave drag queen, director and producer of Auto Bio Queen, Beni Lola (Natasha Jynel); circus darling of Circus Quirkus and La Soirée fame, Hannie Heldsen; contemporary dancer, choreographer and visionary artistic associate at 2ndToe Dance Collective, James Andrews; politically-charged experimental-pop group, Joni In The Moon; world-famous ‘Queen of Corporate’ drag queen and beloved club-scene comic, Karen From Finance; and, of course, there is Welsby’s drag alter-ego, the enigmatic Valarie Hex. ✏︎ Laura

he opening night of YUMMY speaks volumes of the extensive social reach of modern drag culture. Premiering at The Toff for Melbourne’s LGBTQIA+ Midwinta Festival in 2015, director and producer of YUMMY, James Welsby, tells the anecdote with vivid recollection and vigour.

“We did one show and it completely sold out,” says Welsby. “I’ll never forget the moment where I looked out and saw this room packed full of 300 faces staring at us! I just never expected that and I burst out laughing.”

This year, Welsby and the multi-dimensional, multi-talented performers of YUMMY can expect much the same response when they bring their exuberant brand of drag and polished dance repertoire to premiere at the Adelaide Fringe.

A concoction of drag grandeur, physical theatre, and high calibre dance routines, this disparate group forms an essential part of YUMMY’s ambition to create a more inclusive world of drag.

“In terms of a political message it’s about gender equality and about coming together to move forward,” Welsby asserts. “It’s about not having any limits and not accepting limitations put on you by society or by yourself.”

As a genderqueer performer, Welsby cites drag as a potential driver for social change through outward defiance against heteronormative and cisnormative social standards. “To me, I see drag as being limitless. I see queerness as being limitless and gender expression as being limitless,” Welsby tells of his own personal experience with drag.

Drag culture has its roots in the expression of LGBTQIA+ folks, who have used performative dance, singing, costuming, and extravagant showpersonship to perform a heightened extension of the self. Yes, drag queens have been around far longer than the mainstream reintroduction of drag culture, however, what this modern resurgence has

Altering Your Daring to challenge misconceptions, Not Today’s Yesterday choreographer Lina Limosani invites audiences to ‘resee the past for a better future’

wo women who are passionate about ‘telling the hard stories’, Bharatanatyam performer Seeta Patel and choreographer Lina Limosani have come together to create Not Today’s Yesterday based on the subjectivity of history which is so often disregarded. As Winston Churchill once said, “history is written by the victors.”

The concept developed through Patel’s fascination with the political and social history of her practice, Bharatanatyam. Although poetic and spiritual, the expressive South Indian classic dance is often misunderstood. As Limosani sees it, the true spirit of Bharatanatyam is much more than the “cherry-picked and white-washed” version that’s so often conveyed to audiences.

While exploring this Patel and Limosani saw potential to not only showcase true Bharatanatyam, but also encompass a wider world view. Although Patel hails from Britain and Limosani from Australia, the troubled histories of “white-washing” are apparent in both backgrounds, a subject matter Limosani says is “at the heart of our current national conversations.” As she explains, “White-washing isn’t necessarily about white people, it’s really about power more than anything. Who has that power, when does it shift and when does the carpet really get pulled out from underneath you?

“I guess Not Today’s Yesterday really addresses these things and it comes from a very personal point of view. It doesn’t come from a political place but it’s definitely got politics in there,” Limosani says. “We’re just kind of putting it out there for the audience to interpret in their own way.”

So while Not Today’s Yesterday is a reflection of

personal experience, Limosani and Patel also wanted to create something that is universally relatable across cultures and communities – a performance Limosani hopes will evoke deeper conversation and “provoke new observations and insights.”

“ White-washing isn’t necessarily about white people, it’s really about power more than anything” Limosani describes the use of Bharatanatyam to present this dark subject matter as a ‘fantastical’ contrast. Somewhat comparing it to a fairytale, but packaged in “a very seductive way [in order] to entice an audience. But, as in many Grimms fairytales, things definitely turn upside-down,” she says. And as perceptions change, the performance “really shows how easy it is to be sucked in and seduced.”

Ultimately, Limosani aims to “challenge the idea of what dance is and what dance can say,” and present to the audience a narrative which proves that “dance can offer more than just steps on a stage – it really can pass on messages and stories.” ✏︎

Through his warm personality and quick wit, Suren Jayemanne makes the audience feel at home from the get go. A small crowd can be awkward but he assures everyone, however uncomfortable they may be, he feels a lot worse.

The show is based around multiculturalism in Australia but he doesn’t delve into it as much as expected. There’s mention of his background and parents’ immigration but he steers clear of anything

overly sensitive and equips the audience with a safe word if things do start to get a bit sticky. Most of the time though he’s throwing out cheeky jokes about the Italian accent or going on a tangent discussing his girlfriend – who he’s not just dating because she’s white.

Although confident, Jayemanne’s slightly awkward stage presence complements his material. The intimate setting of The Producers’ Nook allows Jayemanne to interact with the audience (whether you like it or not) and attempt to weed out any racists in the room. The show is engaging and thought-provoking – but most of all, funny. The kind that has you giggling even when you’re not quite sure what the joke was. ✏︎ Hannah Connell

Pat McCaffrie’s motivating emotion as a comedian seems to be frustration. Frustration with his delivery-driver co-worker, frustration with Eddie Perfect (who is, in his words, 'a second-rate Tim Minchin'), and, perhaps overwhelmingly, frustration with Australian politics. The citizenship crisis, the Barnaby debacle, and the marriage plebiscite all serve as prime targets for McCaffrie’s weary indignation.

But McCaffrie is also a comedian who likes to use comedy to educate people. He enjoys break-

ing down the controversies of the day, or highlighting the stories he’s come across in the media, so that his audience walks away hopefully more politically informed than when they arrived. This makes him one of the most earnest, intelligent and forthright comedians you will encounter at the Fringe, and if

you’re a fan of political humour then it’s a no-brainer to attend Pat McCaffrie: Pat Riot.

The only disappointment is that tonight he falls victim to the tyranny of poor crowd density. In a near-empty room, he isn’t always able to keep up the laughs or consistency. ✏︎ Justin Boden

The key success of the show is the carefully crafted script matched with Waters’ ability to riff off herself and the audience with quick-witted improv, which keeps the audience captivated throughout. The use of meta storytelling (naming the drama school jargon and clown school techniques) gives a transparency and heartening dorkiness to the performance, but also helps to build the rhythm of the show to its climax.

This is smart and technically clever writing with a strong performance to match. Waters is incredibly funny and engaging, and this is her most crowd-pleasing show to date. ✏︎ Kylie Maslen

The Travelling Sisters – Toupé HHHH VENUE: TIME:

various venues times vary, various dates between 16 Feb and 6 Mar $28

The Travelling Sisters are three thespian comedians who hail from rural Queensland and have been touring together since 2014. Toupé marks their second visit to the Adelaide Fringe, and with it they bring a completely fresh suite of sketch comedy to the Royal Croquet Club.

The sketch-work itself is vibrant and fun. The Travelling Sisters perform most of their wardrobe changes on stage, disappearing into imaginative, vivid, fully-realised characters, from cockney conspirateurs and talent-show

lollipop ladies, to enthusiastic body-positivity hillbillies and a lovelorn, tap-dancing cactus.

The set-ups are suitably outrageous and the punchlines consistently find their mark, but much of the comedy comes from how lovingly The Travelling Sisters render their creations. In each grotesque caricature they perform, they find something vulnerable, resilient or triumphant to share with the audience.

There’s no shortage of audio snafus, technical errors and wardrobe malfunctions on opening night, but the performers inhabit their characters so perfectly, in voice and personality, that they are able to turn every mishap into a laugh.

Toupé is a solid hour of silly, surreal sketch comedy with an underlying message about the importance of body positivity and self-acceptance. ✏︎ Justin Boden

Trygve Wakenshaw & Barnie Duncan: Different Party

The title of the show is apt: Matt Stewart is a wry comedian with a measured wit. He enjoys taking all the necessary time to set up his punchlines, and doesn’t falter when a joke misses its mark. For all the self-deprecation he peppers throughout his set, he is steady at the helm, easy-going with his crowd work, and confident in his material.

Wakenshaw & Barnie Duncan: Different Party certainly draws on these parody tropes, sending up the inanity of briefcases, paperwork, pens, coffee, business cards, ill-fitting suits and the nigh-on fetishised jargon of sales to the point of meaninglessness.

But when you have two masters of the craft – Wakenshaw’s elastic physicality and Duncan’s straightfaced comic chops – at the helm, Different Party is so much more than just a silly office parody.Their ability to seamlessly switch modes from

The title also works on another level. Men in comedy don’t often need to identity themselves as such, as it is often taken to be a given: a comedian is unfortunately presumed to be a man, unless otherwise stated. But Stewart is clearly aware of these issues and uses humour to pick away at the status quo: targets of his jokes include casual homophobia, slacktivism, Boomer entitlement, and the politics of gender-policing your unborn child.

Stewart has mixed success converting his set-ups into laughs, but the 2014 RAW winner does have a sharp eye for observational comedy and keeps things mellow with his understated method of joke delivery. / Justin Boden

nonsensical office banter to sheer mime absurdity (sometimes they are birds; their briefcases are dogs; they keep a smashed mug tally etc) elevates the hour to the sublime.

There’s a certain catharsis in it for anyone who works a mundane nine-to-five, while the freelancers and creatives in the audience can take a voyeuristic joy in watching office behaviour deconstructed to madness – as if the whole thing was created by aliens approximating the ways humans do business.

Jude Perl explores the pitfalls of being an adult who is not quite a grown-up. When your peers are having children, getting married or living in their own place, what if you’re still in a share house (not sad, just practical) and the only things in the fridge are off milk and broccoli?

Perl’s self-deprecating humour gets her audience on side, but it’s

both the overt and subtle discussion of anxiety and mental health that drives the narrative of Let’s Hang Out. Such as the expectations, jealousy and desires that we all feel but don’t always voice; like being jealous of the attention given to babies when we’re feeling discarded, and the pressure we feel to always be more than what we are.

A smash-hit in Edinburgh, this rollicking cringe comedy gives the audience a visceral shove into an East London council estate. Flesh & Bone is high energy, lyrical theatre that keeps it down-to-earth with both depth and vulnerability.

The cohesive cast of diverse characters is treated humanely with problematic stereotypes set upon and swiftly dismantled. Kelly is trying to make a buck from her vocal talent, Jamal looks after his mum as best he can, and Granddad is a sentimental geezer. The lads Reiss and Terry just want to have a pint and be themselves, despite all their macho posturing.

Cinematic sequences and

tight choreography give Flesh & Bone a propulsive energy. With fighting and fucking and a little politics in between, this is topical and populist theatre to shame

From the beer garden of The Producers spring three women in shiny, silver bodysuits. Chloe Culpin, Rosie Blackadder and Jennie Hall combine clowning with sketch comedy to produce a highly physical and energetic show.

While many jokes appear at first to be overly reliant on puns and stereotypes, a beat later the penny drops. The satirical commentary on feminist topics, including gendered language and sex, as well as the impact of capitalism and second-wave feminism on women today (a particularly smart highlight of the show), becomes

clear. The writing is clever and the delivery is tongue-in-cheek.

Sadly, Mirrors fails to fire overall and the audience is never quite won over. The venue doesn’t do the performers any favours – the crowd is spread across too large an area

Eight people show up to Brisbane’s Stephanie Tisdell’s opening standup show. Not only is this her first act of the Fringe circuit, it is also her first ever debut as a solo performer.

If it were not for her self-effacing musings of the distinct lack of faces in the crowd and copious declarations of thanks to the few of us for showing up, you wouldn’t have guessed by Tisdell’s casual stage presence that she was, in fact, a nervous newcomer.

Tisdell’s standup routine is equal parts informative and unequivocally funny. Self-aware and unapologetically outspoken, she engages with her modest audience in anecdotes about mental health,

‘fatness’, and First Nations issues.

Crafted from her lived experiences as an Indigenous Australian woman, Tisdell casts a satirical and sharp eye over colonialist Australia with tongue-in-cheek critiques that can turn faces blood-red from

white guilt.

MollyTaylor presents a charismatic and sentimental story about trying to show gratitude to those who make our journeys possible. Interweaving narratives illustrate the impact public transport has had onTaylor's life and those around her. In her quest to thank the drivers who made a love affair possible, Love Letters to the Public Transport System shows that tenderness isn't something to regret,

even when it doesn't work out.

What starts as an optimistic expression of appreciation turns into a deeper exploration of vulnerability.This play examines how we close ourselves off emotionally and the value of opening up with a determined lack of regret.Taylor is unflinchingly honest about her emotional subjects, and her obsessive interest in the public transport system is disarming. Love Letters... laments a world where it is easy to register a complaint, but there is no way to thank a train driver without apparently becoming one first.

It can be hard to keep track of the criss-crossing narratives, but Taylor's charming style gives the story plenty of momentum.The show demonstrates how to stay soft through the brutality of heartbreak – and how to haul your ex's hi-fi in revenge. / Jess Martin

O’Mara puts on a charm offensive as the initially bashful and idealistic photographer who finds a mentor in a jaded yet moralistic reporter. His scenes bring a levity to the proceedings, but also build the ideological framework upon which the narrative rests.

Lvova, meanwhile, offers a

commanding and physical performance. She is able to inhabit a host of characters, and bring dreadful life to scenes of violence and terror. But her character, the graffiti artist, feels stencilled-in: literally nameless, characterised by stoicism, motivated by anger, and defined by a single childhood experience. These details only slightly undercut an exceptional performance, however, and do little to rob the show of its dramatic heft.

UK trio In Bed With My Brother have brought their experimental dance and physical theatre number We Are Ian to Gluttony’s Parasol Lounge, where an audience willingness to dance is almost an obligation.

A left-of-field take on the most superfluous and self-gratifying anti-establishment era – the late 1980s house music movement – We Are Ian bursts on stage like an assault rifle of party gallantry.

However, much like the acid trip being replicated on stage, the show includes its highs and lows.

An uppercut to Thatcherism

– the show is soundtracked to damning underground club-classic Maggie’s Last Party, a track sampling Thatcher’s condemning statements – and set with a visual backdrop of foreboding political figures, past and present. It is both a resistance piece and a cautionary tale, but this conclusion can only be made by getting through 40 minutes of maniacal dancing, which becomes wearing.

Unfortunately, with an hour long run time and a soundtrack cracked to around 100 decibels, the message falls on deafened ears. ✏︎ Letti K-Ewing

Orpheus is the love story of Dave and Eurydice. It imagines a young boy who thinks of smiles and hugs as superpowers. A boy who sings

adverse possession.

After discovering an abandoned property in 2015, Herridge coined the nickname ‘Carey Gully Squatter’ and has been on a rollercoaster ride fighting for ownership ever since. His story has been shared across media outlets and has caused a stir over its time.

This one isn’t for the faint hearted so strap yourself in because it’ll get you thinking. The storyline can be tough to get your head around at first, and whether you’re for or against Carey Gully Squatter it is fascinating to hear the story.

He does tend to ramble, but it’s

all part of the charm. If you join in and ask a question, don’t expect a short response.

His on stage guests are set to vary but in this case a friendly stranger who donated to Herridge’s cause was a worthy addition with an interesting story of his own. It was disappointing that the show was changed from its original synopsis, but what was offered was pleasantly surprising.

Conversation with the Controversial Squatter will get you rethinking your view on rights and ownership. ✏︎ Hannah Connell

of the beauty in the world before the spark and creativity of youth are crushed by lad culture, and the colour is drained from his life by the need for conformity.

Dave is, of course, Orpheus transplanted to the modern age and this performance pays tribute to the legendary musician and poet by telling the story of these two lovers through music and verse.

Keeping up a solid flow of poetry

for the better part of an hour is tough and some segments are more gripping than others, but the musical leitmotifs on acoustic guitar are woven into the story well.

You don’t need to be familiar with Greek mythology to enjoy Orpheus – the story will become apparent. But even if you do know how it ends, it’s skilfully delivered and keeps your attention on this warm and tender show. ✏︎ Alexis Buxton-Collins

Over the course of an hour we learn about second deals and shuffles, but these are techniques that have taken Milas years to perfect.

ness with about 20 strangers and instructed to fit noise-cancelling headphones, the full immersion into a tense auditory and tactile séance begins.

“Do you believe?” each of us is asked, and believe it, the whole experience is much better if you do.

This is important to remember as the narration leading through the practice drones for the most part of the 20 minute experience and arms start to ache after being unnaturally outstretched to remain touching the

table in front.

It’s a shame, because otherwise Séance employs the sort of ghost story antics, like suspense and jump-scares, that are familiar and fun. In this respect it is a clever sensory trip that has been carefully curated to provoke feelings of unease and dread. Whether or not these feelings are experienced to a great level isn’t always clear, but the technical side of the installation the artists employ does create a darker side to the Fringe. ✏︎ Letti K-Ewing

In The Unfair Advantage, Harrison Milas holds all the cards. A few hours before the show begins an email arrives with a location and the instruction to wait at the appointed hour. Looking around, it's

clear there are a few other similarly bewildered people and once we’re all gathered, our genial host brings us to a dimly lit poker den.

Going into too much detail about what follows would breach the mandatory confidentiality agreement – but it’s an introduction to cheating and trickery from the former card shark.

The intimate setting works well, it’s a small audience and we’re all in close proximity to the action, but even when Milas explains what he’s doing his dextrous movements make it hard to follow. Some of the more elaborate trickery is unex-

Can’t Face HHHH VENUE: TIME:

TICKETS:

prices vary

In an age of increasing global anxieties – be they political, economic, or environmental – live performance is being left with little choice but to respond. Sometimes it’s in the form of satire, sometimes it’s pure fury. Sometimes, in the case of Can’t Face, it’s debauched circus that has no intention of taking itself seriously.

From the aptly named Circus Trick Tease company (previously known for the award-winning children’s show Children Are Stinky),

Can’t Face throws acrobatics, lewd burlesque, slam poetry and puerile musical parody into a blender and slams the ‘pulse’ button. Somehow, in its diverse hour, it manages to skewer right-wing politics, the environment, religious celibacy and contemporary dance. Such a menu might seem stodgy, but when the tools they use happen to be witty, self-aware circus, smart choreography and (mostly) inventive tech, it becomes a remarkably light and zippy variety show.

This bears repeating: all that serious stuff is under the surface.

Can’t Face is a hilarious romp first and foremost, full of hip-hop nuns, penis balloons and songs about excrement. The pacing could be a notch tighter, and it’s not a clean sweep of winning routines, but the weaknesses are outshone by some wonderfully disgusting moments of excellence. ✏︎ George Sully

Quebec company Cirque Alfonse are back in town with TABARNAK. Those who loved Barbu of years gone past will not be disappointed with this new show. The material and music are fresh, but the stunts are just as hair-raising. In keeping with the title, there’s an almost constant play on the symbols and traditions of the church throughout

the piece. The symbols are tongue in cheek; a hauntingly beautiful French chant while rollerskates are being strapped on, a crucified figure atop two others, a stained glass window which holds one aloft yet crushes another.

Being a new show, there are some spots that could run smoother and unfortunately it seems as though the troupe would be more comfortable and safer in a larger, higher tent. However, the final Chinese pole act is fantastic enough to make the trip worth it, and the vibrant, infectious spirit of the group will put a smile on any audience member’s face.

The Cirque Alfonse crew are known for going all-out and having a ball while doing it. This isn’t the most polished circus show on the circuit, but it stands out as one of the most fun. ✏ Laura Desmond

RCC & Carla Lippis Present Midnight Marauders HHHH VENUE: TIME:

Credit: Ayesha Hussein

TICKETS:

Royal Croquet Club 11pm, various dates between 16 Feb and 17 Mar $30

The story goes that on Stax Records’ European tour, Otis Redding was constantly exasperated at being given the task of headlining a revue packed with so much talent.

Carla Lippis is in a similar position hosting this late night show, which gathers some of the most talented performers from across the Fringe.

But with a killer voice and no fucks given, it’s a task she takes to with relish. Despite starting half an hour late, she owns the stage entirely from the moment she welcomes us

into a small tent that looks “like a clown’s arsehole.”

Prowling the stage and floor with wild eyes and wilder hip thrusts, she roars, snarls and spits her way through a version of 20th Century Boy that somehow packs more glam and sleaze in than T. Rex’s original, along with a healthy dose of venom. She mixes energetic songs, backed by her tight band, with dry humour, and introduces a range of acts to the stage.

Malia Walsh performs some unequalled audience participation, and Trygve Wakenshaw and Barnie Duncan’s absurdist humour escalates quickly before Le Gateau Chocolat takes the stage and owns it as only a six-foot baritone in a dress can. Most people wouldn’t even bother trying to follow that.

But Lippis does it with aplomb as she has all night – a trashy glam goddess who gets right into the faces (and laps) of the audience. ✏︎ Alexis Buxton-Collins

Five drag queens, one circus performer, and one electro-pop singer share a single stage. If you haven’t heard the noise about YUMMY before, you sure will now.

YUMMY is brought to Adelaide audiences by ‘director, producer, and drag mother’ James Welsby (aka Valerie Hex). It is a fusion of new-wave drag, neo-burlesque, contemporary dance, physical comedy and a dash of old school

drag glamour; a variety spectacular that questions the gender binary and turns preconceived notions of ‘drag’ on its head.

Introducing themselves to the classic, plucked-string sounds of Gwen Stefani’s 2006 hit Yummy, each performer showcases their distinct talents and vivacious costumes in separate skits. So diverse are the acts that it’s hard to pick out a favourite – perhaps Jandruze folding herself into a sandwich

complete with a mastubatory twist, or Karen From Finance being forced off-script by losing $20 from a money-hungry fan.

If there is a criticism tonight it is only for the audience: the crowd aren’t hungry for something so yummy. This is the kind of show that deserves the kind of raucous applause and familial love you’d find in Paris Is Burning, and an audience that celebrates diversity and inclusivity. ✏︎ Letti K-Ewing

The two performers bring different auras to the stage and complement each other well in doing so. The meek and mild pianist is endearing and loveable and contrasts nicely with the bold vocalist bringing some oomph to the stage.

There’s a charming feel to the performance evident in period costumes, props and visuals and this is all flattered by the La Bohème venue – which appears to be the ideal location to host the show. It is a pleasant way to spend the night with its unexpected takes on songs

Too Many Zooz HHHH

TIME:

The Garden of Unearthly Delights run ended

Musical shows at the Fringe tend to cross over to other genres, such as comedy or storytelling, but the New York jazz three-piece Too Many Zooz come right at you with nothing but their unique sound.

Using only a saxophone, trumpet and a standing drum kit, they know how to start the night’s party. This was a one-night-only performance, and a truly spectacular one.

Individually, each performer demonstrates masterful control of their instrument, creating sounds and playing styles you wouldn’t think were possible, but together they are able to craft a setlist that really shows off their talents. Once they get started there is no stopping them, leading us into a trance-

like state. They just keep playing, with no breaks between songs and barely pausing to introduce themselves. The party doesn’t stop.

The only thing that detracted from the atmosphere – though hardly a criticism of the trio on stage – was the lack of space to

dance. You could tell that there were many who wanted nothing more than to bust a move but were confined to their chairs. Regardless, Too Many Zooz are the perfect night starter, setting the tone for an unforgettable Fringe experience.

original songs amidst a varied collection of modern and classical music. Their boyish charm wins over the audience, and the chemistry between them is obvious. A sold-out show means a tight fit in the venue, but just enough room to bop around to the beat.

The sheer talent and vivacious nature of the boys is clearly appar-

ent as they dance, croon and play their way into the audience’s hearts.

Their rendition of Hall of the Mountain King is beyond impressive, and the mega mash-up to finish the show is a great display of the fluidity of music and the variety across the band itself.

Deborah Brennan

Speed Dating Deborah Brennan from The Hummingbird Effect and Alex Colfield of Supernova have a three minute speed date with Fest Fest: How are rehearsals?

Brennan: “I had a big editing session today! Managed to cut down the first section out of my script by about three minutes.”

Cofield: “It’s been a challenge because this is unlike anything I’ve written before. Considering the majority of it is verse, it has to adhere to syllable rules, rhyming schemes and what not, so it’s been a long process. But the script writing is all done, the music is being done as we speak, and we just need to hammer it out.”

Alex Colfield

I wanted to juxtapose that by setting it against different musical styles including EDM dance music, classical-inspired music, hip-hop, and rap.”

And these shows are drawn out of personal experiences?

B: “Yes. By a bizarre set of circumstances I ended up in Port Fairy – which has a little bit of a magical name to it – for the folk festival. That’s the setting for the show, and that’s where the magic happens.”

C: “Yeah, it’s very self-referential. The village where I’m based and where I have a rent-free parental home is very small, and every time I go back it’s a bit like, OK, what mad plan do I have to concoct to get myself out of it this time?”

Lastly, if you could imbue a magical ring with your essence, what powers would it confer on its wearer?

B: “I think, playing with the theme of my show, it would have to convey psychic abilities. The ability to read people and get a feeling for situations – a bit of precognition, a bit of empathy.”

C: “It would just imbue the wearer with sardonic, What’s the elevator pitch? sarcastic cynicism: a very dry, British attitude of just B: “Hummingbird Effect is a sixty-minute, one-wom- not tolerating other people and being a bit of a windan cabaret that blends the art of storytelling with up merchant.” ✏︎ Justin Boden acoustic covers of iconic hits from the 70s and 80s, SHOW: The Hummingbird Effect from artists like Bowie, Pink Floyd and Phil Collins.
