GASWORKS ARTS PARK

SEASON 2018

Situated near the beach in Albert Park, Melbourne, on the site of the former South Melbourne Gas Plant, Gasworks Arts Park is just three kilometres from the CBD. The precinct is home to four hectares of park, two theatres, three gallery spaces, a cafĂŠ, as well as function and workshop spaces. Gasworks Arts Park is a vibrant arts space producing Performing Arts, Visual Arts and Outdoor Events for all ages.

WELCOME With Gasworks Arts Park you can discover world-class theatre in your own backyard at reasonable prices. Experience heritage charm with modern convenience while enjoying gallery exhibitions, workshops, markets and outdoor events in a beautiful park environment. This year’s program is built around great stories and invigorating dance and physical theatre. In our Moving Parts season we see dramatic elements evoking emotion and bodies flexing in motion. Enjoy stories from Oscar Wilde, Lindy Chamberlain and Hannie Rayson, and a new Australian comedy from Ilbijerri Theatre where more is uncovered on a father daughter road trip than anyone can predict. Experience gravity-defying break dancing from international festival award winners Elements Collective, and if you have some urban dance moves yourself, participate in our public Dance Battle. In a Gasworks first, we’ll be giving you 3D glasses so you can fully experience Parallax with Megan Beckwith, the only artist in Australia who dances with 3D holographic projections. There is something for the little ones as well, with circus and comedy created specially for kids during school holidays. Enjoy a drink before a show in the new look theatre bar, and share some special time with family and friends at Gasworks Arts Park. Tamara Jungwirth

DIRECTOR & CEO

What I love about theatre is the power it has to inspire, to bring people together, and the way it can linger in our memory. I am so excited to share this power and passion with you in Season 2018. I invite you to make yourselves at home and settle in to experience talent that is awe-inspiring, and art that runs the gamut from ground-breaking to immersive, hilarious to heart-warming, visceral to breathtaking. We have hand-picked some of the finest artists around Australia, and we can’t wait to share their work with you. Those who want to delve a little deeper have opportunities to engage with cast and creatives after the show; I hope this will provoke thought, discussion, and maybe even a little debate. I am proud to be part of an incredible team who share my passion for bringing powerful, high quality theatre to you, and above all, memorable experiences that stay with you long after the house lights go up.

LARRY & THE DAME: MAGNUM OPUS BY CARITA FARRER SPENCER In this hilarious Double Act (with herself ) comedienne Carita Farrer Spencer brings her gender bent alter-egos Larry Paradiseo and The Dame to the Gasworks stage. Fall in love with ageing show-pony The Dame as she sings anything she can remember. Gird your loins as headliner Larry croones his way through a few of his favourite songs as only a true International sex-symbol can.

OSCAR WILDE’S DE PROFUNDIS BY DAVID FENTON & BRIAN LUCAS This first ever Australian theatrical adaptation of De Profundis is sexually uncompromising, audacious and powerful. Written in 1897 from Reading Gaol to his lover and betrayer Lord Alfred Douglas, Oscar Wilde’s infamous letter is a complex and contradictory meditation on the nature of suffering and forgiveness. Oscar Wilde’s persecution for being gay, his turmoil and transformation in prison unfolds in this brutal and touching work. Investigating queer rights, their quashing, emergence and acceptance – it draws together the threads of current debates, reflecting ongoing concerns through the mirror of time.

THE HELENDALE NUDE FOOTY CALENDAR BY KISSING BOOTH The Helendale Hornets Footy Club is in financial trouble and it looks like it’s going under, unless someone comes up with one heck of an idea. For the good of the town, the happiness of their mates, and their love of the sport, the footy shorts are coming off. A play that tells three parallel stories of being a gay guy in an Australian country town. It’s about mateship and men, sit-ups and locker rooms and love and loathing.

Experience the intersection of imaginary worlds and live performance with the aid of 3D glasses in this triple billâ€™s thrilling climax, Parallax. Watch as a woman drinks a green liquid and the hallway she is standing in becomes a portal to new worlds. Parallax, 3D animations interact with both the performer and you, the audience.

The sisters are reunited after ten years and again feel the constraints of family life.

WHICH WAY HOME ILBIJERRI THEATRE COMPANY

A ROAD TRIP COMEDY 80,000 YEARS IN THE MAKING. Tash and her Dad are going on a road trip. Home to country, where the sky is higher, and the world goes on forever. It’s a long way from the wide streets and big old houses of Tash’s childhood. Two black faces in a very white suburb. Dad still thinks he’s the king of cool, but he’s an old fella now. It’s time for Tash to take him home. ILBIJERRI Theatre Company tells stories about what it means to be Indigenous in Australia today. Infused with humour and heart, Which Way Home draws on writer Katie Beckett’s own memories of growing up with her single Aboriginal father.

“POWERFUL AND TRUE TO WHAT I LIVED.” LINDY CHAMBERLAIN-CREIGHTON

A MERRIGONG THEATRE PRODUCTION IN ASSOCIATION WITH CANBERRA THEATRE CENTRE

LETTERS TO LINDY BY ALANA VALENTINE

A MOTHER’S LOSS. A NATION’S OBSESSION. Filled with humour and heartbreak, this stunning work by award-winning playwright Alana Valentine (Parramatta Girls, Head Full of Love) explores the public’s relationship with one of the most iconic figures of 20th Century Australia. The story captivated the nation. A mother accused of murdering her child, her claim – that the baby was taken by a dingo – denied and discredited by zealous police and a flawed legal system. The media circus, the rumours, the mob mentality, the nation’s prejudices laid bare. Over three decades, from baby Azaria’s death to the final coroner’s report, the public wrote more than 20,000 letters to Lindy Chamberlain; traversing the gamut of human responses from sympathy to abuse.

Letters to Lindy draws on this extraordinary correspondence and interviews with Lindy herself, to create an enthralling, revealing, and long overdue dialogue between Lindy Chamberlain and the nation.

COCKFIGHT THE FARM A CROSS BETWEEN THE OFFICE AND A CAGE FIGHT. Cockfight is a game of comical one-upmanship where generational truths are exposed and unpacked. A flash of bared teeth, territorial pissing contests and the desperation of needing to prove yourself versus the need to hold on to what you’ve got. With full-throttle, risk-taking physicality, graceful movement, and slow-mo fight sequences, this piece of dance theatre is darkly humorous and surprisingly tender.

Cockfight explores the power play between men, the frailty of the ageing body while questioning our culture’s desperate struggle for achievement.
