C Venues
Over at the C Venues, there are performers from 20 different countries.
C Nova is developing as a home for site-specific productions. Jethro Compton’s 2013 sell-out The Bunker Trilogy, Agamemnon, Macbeth and Morgana is set in a specially constructed World War I bunker and returns following award-winning performances at the Adelaide Fringe.
The company’s newest set of pieces, The Capone Trilogy (Loki, Lucifer, Vindici), takes place in an early twentieth-century Chicago hotel room on the top floor of the venue.
At C Central, Oikos brings Philip Ridley’s controversial dystopian violent play Mercury Fur. Written in 2005 and set in East London after cataclysmic riots, a tight-knit gang does pretty much anything to survive.
Shakespeare for Breakfast returns for its 23rd year. This ever-popular show offers a brand new storyline for Shakespeare’s characters. It’s a comic romp and a unique take on the traditional with free coffee and croissants and a not too early start.
On the musical front, Wellington College brings Eurobeat: Almost Eurovision, a celebration of all things Eurovision set in Sarajevo, which has won the rights to host this year's competition.
Each audience member will be assigned one of the ten competing countries as he or she enters the venue. With comic songs and dance routines, this is one competition on which you won't want to miss out.
