THE MOTHF*CKER WITH THE HAT

Could anything as trivial as a hat ever break up true love?

This Year’s Adelaide Fringe Festival attracted 4,000 of the best Fringe Artists from around the world into Adelaide for one month of festival madness. This year The Owl and the Pussycat are inviting some of the highlights of the festival down to Melbourne to give us a taste of what the festival had on offer, for all those who couldn’t make it themselves... or just those who want to relive it.

BLUE/ORANGE

The multi-award winning hit comedy/drama!
 

Who's mad and who's sane?

The lights come up on the stage; a figure lies beneath a grotty woollen blanket. His body is shrouded except for his hands and feet, which poke out from each corner. It looks like a grave, lifeless and sad, until the figure moves, holding his face to the blanket, which is faintly sparkling from the glitter scattered over it. He shakes a gust of glitter into the audience, reveals his face and whispers: “if anyone asks, I’m not here at all.”

The Famous Spiegeltent is a fixture of the Melbourne arts calendar, and for good reason. The space hums with the excitement of countless performances, now soaked into the grain of the wood and the glitter of the glass. The attraction maintains its allure by continuing to select unique, varied and exceptional artists from all over the world to grace its mirrored interior. Ponydance’s Anybody Waitin’? continues this trend, with an action-packed, high energy dance comedy show which delivers on its promise – dancing into your heart (and underwear).

2013 festival
Celebrating six years, the annual Sydney Shakespeare Festival is one of Sydney’s summer event highlights.

Deranged. Sweet. Gut-churning. Whimsical. Nightmarish. Very very entertaining. Produced and performed by Melbourne-based artists The Dirty Brothers, The Dark Party is all those things and more.
