THE COPENHAGEN POST

THE TIGER LILLIES PERFORM HAMLET An anarchic take on Shakespeare’s classic.

Shakespeare’s most revered tragedy is plunged into a world of Weimar cabaret as celebrated cult band The Tiger Lillies present their ‘opera grotesque’ version of Hamlet.

A suite of new songs and a cast of actors, circus acts and giant puppets combine to transform this iconic tragedy into a display of musical and visual fireworks.

British musical trio, The Tiger Lillies, bring their punk cabaret style to Shakespeare’s classic tale of love and betrayal, murder and revenge. These post-modern jesters tell the story of the anguished prince Hamlet with their own macabre twist, punctuated by the hauntingly beautiful falsetto and dark, edgy songwriting of frontman Martyn Jacques.

After opening to wild acclaim in Denmark, and touring across Europe, The Tiger Lillies deliver Hamlet in a spectacular blast of theatrical seduction, deception, death and dark humour.

Simon Stone

THE WILD DUCK Ibsen reimagined.

Australia’s Simon Stone is one of the most in demand directors on the international scene and his fearless adaptations of classic plays have taken the theatre world by storm.

In this refreshingly modern version of The Wild Duck, Stone goes straight for the jugular, stripping back Ibsen’s text and firing the action in rapid, unpredictable scenes. The superb ensemble actors are put behind glass, turning the audience into voyeurs. From our seats we watch the characters as they struggle with unbearable truths, in a glass box from which no escape seems possible.

REFUSE THE HOUR

The lengths we go to for those we love.

A phantasmagoric chamber opera investigating time.

Every Brilliant Thing is a touching and lifeaffirming play about depression.

You’re six years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s ‘done something stupid’. She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world – everything that’s worth living for.

Twenty years and thousands of entries later, the list takes on a life of its own.

APOCRIFU

Sheer spectacle.

Dance ignites the beauty of language.

Aurélien Bory is renowned for making breathtaking visual theatre at the intersection between dance, puppetry and visual art.

Plexus is his latest portrait of a remarkable dancer, this time created for Japan’s Kaori Ito. Entrapped by 5,000 cords that create a forest of brilliantly lit strings, a warrior-woman conquers her environment and floats, like a black angel, in a spectacular cage.

In Apocrifu, Belgian-Moroccan choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui uses the language of the body to explore the truth of religious texts. Extraordinary dance, heavenly harmonies from Corsican vocal ensemble A Filetta and a set strewn with books come together in a creation full of mystery and invention that highlights the power of words and language to antagonise and divide.

A moving story of courage and greed, set amidst the heartstopping spectacle of the Himalayas. This documentary was filmed during the calamitous 2014 climbing season on Everest, when fate turned against a group of Sherpas moving across an ice-flow to aid wealthy western climbers.

Following the disaster, the climbers and Sherpas entered a tense mountaintop stalemate that exposed many truths about money, Nepal, and the meeting of first and third worlds on this alluring, spiritual peak.

Bharti Kher

IN HER OWN LANGUAGE In her first solo exhibition in Australia, internationally acclaimed artist Bharti Kher offers a window into her richly textured practice. Her distinctive signature application of saris, bindis and moulded forms is on display in a selection of wall works and sculptures.

Kher’s elegant yet diverse work is part visceral and part allegory, stemming from the pulse of her New Delhi studio. Figurative sculptures resist definition, dancing between mythical goddess and contemporary portraits. Cell-like orbs and ellipses of layered bindis float in fields of colour, whilst inscribed rice grains provoke reflection upon cultural and physical sustenance.

Kher’s language is her own and it has brought her global recognition in the contemporary art world.

Ryan Trecartin

Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg

Dubbed by The New Yorker as ‘a video art visionary’ whose work is full of ‘breaking news from the future’, Ryan Trecartin is widely considered to be the artist of our time.

Surreal and ultra-sensory, The Secret Garden by Swedish artists Nathalie Djurberg and Hans Berg opens up a netherworld of strange delights and encounters.

This Perth debut of his work features AGWA’s major new acquisitions, the incredibly intense and inventive Sibling Topics (section a) (2009) and CENTER JENNY (2013). In total six movies screened back to back will immerse visitors in the ecstatic poetics of Trecartin’s practice.

In this immersive landscape, sculpture, light, sound and film combine to dazzling effect, as gallery visitors are thrust into a mysterious world of feverish dreams, psychedelic sunsets and expanding universes.
