Adelaide Fringe 2013 – Symphony of Strange – Tuxedo Cat

Gareth Hart’s latest offering, Symphony of Strange, is just that – bizarre, eccentric, and plain weird. Set on the top floor of Tuxedo Cat, this show was alien and incredibly outlandish. Endearing themselves immediately to the audience members by providing chilli chocolate and damp washcloths to combat the 39degree night, the performers led us into …

FESTIVAL – Van Dyke Parks – Thebarton Theatre – 2.5K

By Ben Nielsen Billed as a major event of the Adelaide Festival, Van Dyke Parks joined with Kimbra, Daniel Johns and the Adelaide Art Orchestra in a retrospective performance of his career and works.

FESTIVAL – 2001 A Space Odyssey – 3K or 5K

So, trying to rate this show provides a conundrum. As a musical concert, it was a bit ho-hum – 3Ks but as an event; those who were there or who get along tonight will find they will be remembering it long after the Festival circus has left town – somehow it was very compelling – on this score a 5K rating applies.

FRINGE 2013 – HEART OF A WOMAN: A TRIBUTE TO ETTA JAMES – THE SOUL BOX – 2.5K

All in all, Heart of a Woman: A Tribute to Etta James offers those who remember her an evening to reflect on the troubled but beautiful life of a great artist who’s voice we will never have the honour of hearing again. For a younger crowd, it’s a much more interesting and entertaining way to discover the essence of Miss Peaches rather than passively Googling her from your armchair. 2.5K

FRINGE 2013 – Desde Cuba a Brazil – Ensalada the Union

Thwarted by Council regulations, Ensalada the Union – one of the Festival’s newest venues – had to relocate at the last minute from Union Street in the East End to a spot right near Gluttony, opposite the Garden of Unearthly Delights.
