Various Characters by Šime Knežević

WORLD PREMIERE

"How many times in your life have you asked yourself, why am I alone? I mean, what year is it?"

Nina wants to race into the future. Raoul wants one more chance. Mile wants to escape responsibility. Boris wants to live a romantic fantasy. Zita wants to rearrange the world. Greta wants to reverse her misfortune.

Various Characters follows the stories of six emotionally isolated characters, each grappling with their own personal coming-of-age, each determined to fulfil their dreams, or something close enough.

Set in the early days of the 21 century, a time of cultural collision and social decay, when Australia was starting to reckon with its troubled history and recognised an uncertain future. But it is also about now: the weird effects of cultural assimilation, how we understand difference, and how we might break through what divides us.

This production has an approximate runtime of 80 minutes, with no interval.

    Even the instruments are custom-cool, bare down to the bones like the skeletal relics of orchestras of the underworld.

    The Book of Mormon
     It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.

    A Mirror | Belvoir
    Steeped in meta-theatricality, A Mirror prompts us to reflect on the status of storytelling, of its place in creating a culture, its manipulation into myth, its power to prick and to prod.

     Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.

    Going from that show to Mary said what she said was like going from a Mozart piano concerto to one of the more repetitive pieces by Philip Glass.
