WELCOME TO THE

10th Anniversary Season winner

•

arts hub 2011

•

award for contribution to the australian arts scene

10 long seasons ago, a semi–trailer pulled up to a park in the East End and dropped off a container. From the container came a tent… And into the tent came some performers and crew. They made a home and they made some shows. Tickets were ripped and an audience joined the ride. 10 strong seasons on, we’ve made the park our home, and many things have grown. In 2012 we welcome an extraordinary collection of artists to celebrate our 10th anniversary season. The international sensation SOAP - THE SHOW, the exquisite voices of THE LOVEBIRDS, the freakishly adorable cabaret artists from La Clique in LA SOIREE, the sell-out sensation of our 2011 season CANTINA and the stars of Good News World, comic sensations SAMMY J & RANDY, just to name a few.

We also welcome a stunning new venue, The Vagabond. Built in Holland, but designed and inspired here in Adelaide during our 2011 season. In all, 103 different shows will be performed in 11 different venues... and the audience… verging on close to a million. Yes, some things have definitely changed, but at the heart of it all, one important thing remains the same… you, our audience. You found your corner of The Garden. And you made it grow. Thank you and welcome to the 10th anniversary season of The Garden of Unearthly Delights! Here’s to the next 10 years!

Michelle, Andrew, Scott & Sarah.

The Space Cowboy

For his Confirmation Pete wore a yellow sweater and a thin purple leather tie. His Nan said he was the snazziest boy there. Now that he’s older Pete has realized snazzy is not about the threads, it’s an attitude.

Enter the mind of Australia’s leading mentalist on a journey through the rabbit hole of excitement, danger and wonder. Anything is possible!

the Lovebirds Direct from their world premiere at the Melbourne International Arts Festival. The LoveBirds, destined to be a Fringe favourite, are set to inhabit the vibrant and luscious surrounds of The Garden of Unearthly Delights. In this exotic new breed of cabaret, these rare and illusive creatures will emerge from the foliage of their alluring, colourspeckled underworld, to share provocative, heart-warming tales of wandering souls pining for love and looking to be saved. Written and devised by the award-winning singer, cabaret artist and dancer, Simone Page Jones, The LoveBirds pays homage to 1930’s Bohemia and psychedelic, sexually ambiguous San Francisco. Performed by a collection of wayward cabaret darlings with exquisite voices and spectacular plumage, The LoveBirds are backed by their live band with an original score, lead by the exceptionally talented Matthew Carey. Come fall head over heels for The LoveBirds.

“I still find myself thinking of you… Beautiful, untouchable you. I wished, prayed, fantasised that you would be my forever LoveBird lover.”

An Evening with Frank Yamma

‘Alchemy – any magical power or process of transmuting a common substance, usually of little value, into a substance of great value’. Festival favourite Ali McGregor returns with ‘Alchemy’. Expect unique versions of Madonna, Salt ‘n Pepa and Kiss like they were sung by a 40s siren in a Las Vegas club.

Frank Yamma is regarded as one of Australia’s most important indigenous songwriters. His recent album ‘Countryman’ received five star reviews in Australia and the UK. His rich voice and exceptional guitar skills combined with brutally honest tales of alcohol abuse, cultural degradation, respect and country are spine tingling.

The Saints, Laughing Clowns and Bad Seeds guitarist Ed Kuepper and Mark Dawson (drums) have united to re-imagine songs from the classic Kuepper albums, Electrical Storm and Today Wonder, alongside other Kuepper classics. ‘Evocative… ambient-rockabilly’. A show for all Australian music lovers.

Infamous for seducing audiences into their world of Berlin-style rock’n’roll debauchery, they have (dis)graced stages to critics alarm at Woodford Folk, Melbourne & Sydney Fringe and Brisbane Cabaret festivals.

Multi award winning Canadian musician Harry Manx melds the sounds of East and West ‘creating musical short stories that wed the blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas’. He has released eleven albums and created a unique sound that is hard to forget and deliciously addictive to listen to.

My Friend The Chocolate Cake

Passenger

Triple ARIA Award winners MFTCC return to The Garden. Their distinctive brand of pop-noir has steeped deep into Australia’s musical psyche across the past 21 years. David Bridie’s elegant songs of brooding urban angst combined with the glorious strings of Helen Mountfort’s cello and Hope Csutoros’ violin are irresistible.

The brainchild of 26-year-old Brighton born singer/ songwriter Mike Rosenberg, Passenger is redefining the troubadour for the 21st century. Cut from the same mould as Van Morrison and John Prine, Passenger’s forthcoming album ‘All The Little Lights’ has the unique ability to journey from humorous to heartbreaking with every song.

Stephen Cummings is like that old weatherboard house you always fancied in your street. Architectural fashions and coats of paint come and go but that house is still looking good. Cummings is one of the best singers we have and one of our most under-valued songwriters.

Tex Perkins and the Band of Gold originally came together as a unit performing in the hit stage concert ‘The Man In Black’. These kindred musical spirits reinterpret alt-folkcountry favourites written by songsmiths and performers who lived and are loved for the music they made.

Armed with just a microphone, Thum pushes the limits of the human voice to create a mind blowing soundscape of impossible beats, phenomenal sounds and an entire big band’s worth of instruments, for his highly anticipated, solo debut. Thum has done more than most, from winning team battles at the inaugural Beatboxing World Championships, to performing on New York’s Broadway, fronting sold out shows in Sydney, London and Berlin and even sharing a stage with hip-hop legends such as Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash.

‘Doctors need to study this young man, so unnerving are his vocal capabilities.’ the gazette (usa) ‘Tom Thum appears to have swallowed an entire orchestra and several backing singers.’ the guardian (uk)

It was in this fertile garden, bustling with imagination, the seeds of all my carnival dreams took root and sprouted. Hot summer nights mixing the seedy and the sweet. As a much a playground for Carnies and Showfolk as for Townies and Crowds. Inside the world’s Tiniest Top was where I first sat on a stack of cans and compelled by the sheer possibilities all around me I urged my crowd to follow their dreams. The Garden is a place where dreams become more real than reality itself.

The Garden of Unearthly Delights is a beautiful and brilliant thing. The Garden has consistently invented new ways of delighting us over the past 10 years and is now firmly established right at the heart of the Adelaide Fringe.

EastEnd Cabaret {uk}

For a Hedgehog to stay warm, it must endure pain through physical contact. For a hedgehog to stay unharmed, it must choose loneliness.

A mix of chaos, comedy and knockabout slapstick in one big acrobatic debacle for all ages! Off the back of a whirlwind European festival tour; Tom Flanagan, larger-than-life energetic star of Tom Tom Crew and Circus Oz returns to The Garden for his solo debut.

The Hedgehog Dilemma

Pretty heavy stuff for a tiny hedgehog to deal with. Then Felicity discovered this was an analogy for human intimacy. “What kind of hedgehog am I?” she pondered...and then she wrote this show. Seen on Thank God You’re Here, Spicks and Specks and in the Working Dog film Any Questions For Ben?

“Ten years since Adelaide was first introduced to The Garden Of Unearthly Delights... Amazing! The Garden has, to me, become a destination in its own right. Not just for its wondrous venues and performance programs, but for its total Fringeness!! A place to see or be seen. A place that confronts, delights, challenges, entertains, diverts, elates, amuses, terrifies, enchants, bemuses, and for some weak souls like me, dissipates... There is no venue in Adelaide that so captures the essence of our Fringe Festival as does The Garden. Here’s to the next ten... and beyond!”

“It started with just one Famous Spiegeltent in 2000 and was joined by an Umbrella Revolution Big Top in 2002. The energy, love and vision for The Garden of Unearthly Delights has not waived. It is a triumph of creative perseverance and passion. Some of my best memories and unrepeatable stories are planted in the early days of the Garden of Unearthly Delights.”

Katie Noonan Artist

“Together, over the years, both the Fringe and the Garden have enjoyed amazing growth and success. Adelaide audiences flock to the Garden to enjoy their favourite and much loved artists or to discover thrilling new acts. I had the joy of being at the Edinburgh Fringe watching a sold out performance of Tom Tom Crew, a celebration of Australian creativity and talent, and feeling so proud knowing that it had originated at the Garden of Unearthly Delights. Brilliant! Raise your glasses to the next 10 years!

PEEP!

17 Feb – 11 Mar • (Wed - Sun only) at 9pm & 10.15pm $5 per peep • Tickets at the door

16 Feb – 18 Mar • Nightly Tickets at the door

The little castle is a mini theatre tent packed with quirky, ridiculous and sometimes just plain silly comedy acts. Each show is a guaranteed shortish, sharp shock of stupidity so come on in and fill the tent with laughter. The Castello is waiting.

Provocative, subversive and surreal. In the beautiful setting of a miniature old time circus tent, PEEP is a collection of stimulating vignettes viewed through 9 peepholes for 6 minutes at a time. Highly polished vaudeville, burlesque, circus and dance. You will be left titillated and ready for another peek.

MUTANT BARNYARD

SIDESHOW WONDERLAND

Australia’s only genuine travelling freak show! With new animals never before shown!

Human Wonders! This glamorous and tiny stage showcases Australia’s hottest sideshow acts. Short sharp shows by Guinness World Record holding sword swallower, pain proof pin ups, snake charming seductresses, the strongest men and women alive, the most talented small people and many more unique special guests with unusual abilities!

STUFF THAT’S GOOD TO KNOW

While The Garden is constantly working on ways to improve the site and its access, the parkland itself offers some challenges. In places the pathways are steep and consistently so. A number of venues in The Garden are antique wooden theatres which cannot be modified. Where possible, paths and ramps have been installed to improve access to the site and its venues.

Some foolish people want to smuggle alcohol into The Garden. Like we said above, we are a licensed premise, so you can’t do this.
