FRINGE 2019 – ALL CHANGE – 5K
by Riccardo Barone Life’s cycle. But the memory remains. Or it could remain, maybe hidden between a daily ink-check of our favorite pen and a weekly visit of our first daughter. No, hang on, our second daughter. But did she really come? In the scene every object establishes a strong bond with the past becoming …

FRINGE 2019 – The Flying Dutchman Sessions – 5K
by Riccardo Barone Sold out for the brilliant performance of Krishna Nagaraja and the Ensemble Galante & Ensemble Evergreen (on this special occasion united in a waterfall of joy and precision). The premises of La Boheme turn into a tavern in the Hague bringing you back in the 1700 baroque Scandinavian area. You could actually …

ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL 2018 – MISSION SONGS PROJECT – 4.5K
by Riccardo Barone The Mission Song Project has been performing a collection of Australian folk songs wisely harmonised and arranged by the ensemble accompanied only by a guitar most of the time.

ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL 2018 – NOSFERATUTU – 5K
by Riccardo Barone Una furtiva lagrima of blood, pizza, spaghetti and buongiorno. The audience found hard to leave the Banquet room still absorbed by the endless, emotional, energetic, hectic flow. Tears are mixing up with laughts; the existential Shakespearean (in)human condition of Nosferatu is touching everyone’s heart, feeling heaps of pity for his traumatic childhood, …

ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL 2018 – SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT – 3.5K
by Riccardo Barone Total eclipse of the heart… just because a partial one is not enough! Sunglasses at night, an iconic song just to describe a past generation made up with heartaches, hangovery headaches, stories of everyday life that sucks more and more, sadness as a life-pose and success as time line life crescendo (from …

ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL 2018 – TAKING IT UP THE OCTAVE – 4K
by Riccardo Barone 50 shades of opera is the truth! Erotism, passion, fire, seduction are hidden in the opera libretto, here showed and wisely enhanced by the duo Antoniette Halloran/Patrick Lawrence. Their catchy cabaret interacts with the audience and steals many tears because the moving interpretation of classics from “Send in the clowns” to “Quando …

ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL 2018 – MADELEINE PEYROUX – 3.5K
by Riccardo Barone “It’s so quiet here in Adelaide, isn’t it?” It could be quite quiet, but the audience needs to find quietly, peacefully the right connection with the Artist on the stage. A well refined country blues atmosphere, a warm nostalgic voice coming from the past accompanied by her acoustic guitar, bass, another guitar, …

ADELAIDE CABARET FESTIVAL 2018 – CHRISTINA BIANCO – 5K
by Riccardo Barone What happens if Cher would consider having a try on Barbara Streisand’s one? How would it sound like if Whitney Houston starts to sing Celine Dion? Christina Bianco’s voice is extremely flexible, in a continuous metamorphosis, a firework with a noticeable virtuosity which states “We are our past heroes”. It is impossible …

GREAT MOSCOW CIRCUS 2018 – 5K
by Riccardo Barone Four motorbikes, like imprisoned bumblebees trying really hard to escape from the humongous caged up sphere, have shocked the audience. Is today a good day to die walking inside/outside (even backwards) of a huge rotating spinning wheel (even blind folded) challenged by gravity and weight? If that’s not good enough for you …

ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE – CONCRETE IMPERMANENCE – 3K
by Riccardo Barone What happens if the scenography gets involved and starts to dance and to move in a piece of contemporary dance? The sculptural objects were made of crimped paper which were able to be squeezed in and out and turn into different figures and shapes, constantly changing the scenario and the environment. Occasionally …
