Then with the atmospherics of theatre smoke and lightning, we had to look up and over the rainbow to find David Berthold appearing out of an opening platform in the neighboring 2 story building wall (and yes he was wearing a harness) – and the show began, complete with i-generation multi-media projections on the building wall to welcome in each show of the season.
Not to be thought of as predictable in any way, La Boite have shaken things up by not including the trademark Shakespearean piece at the helm of the 2013 Season. However, the Classics do hold a place in the program, which includes five Mainstage and six La Boite Indie productions.
The La Boite Mainstage Season begins with a family friendly production set in a massive pool of green slime. Out Damn Snot is a co-production between La Boite and shake & stir, and is inspired by the classics – Macbeth and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Out Damn Snot runs from 8 – 19 January.
Mr Berthold also commented that Kate Champion’s dance theatre work is “beautifully human, and her influence helps transform Steve Rodgers’ generous story into a delicious theatre experience.” Food will play at the Roundhouse Theatre from 16 – 27 April.
Now in its fourth year, La Boite Indie continues its platform for independent theatre in Brisbane, helping emerging artists and independent companies by providing financial, production, marketing and artistic support.
In 2013 one of the six independent groups will move their production to QPAC, with additional support from the Brisbane Airport Corporation.
><R&J. A group of young people gather in a room to experiment and remix Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, with bloody consequences. Helpmann Award nominee Lucas Stibbard leads a cast of Brisbane’s bravest emerging artists in this deconstruction & reconstruction of the greatest love story ever told. ><R&J will be performed from 13 – 30 November.
